About This Property

Set on a scenic rise known as "Taylor Hill," this architect-designed home offers a rare blend of history, privacy, and natural beauty. Originally built in 1979 and expanded over time, the residence incorporates a distinctive early 20th-century guesthouse and thoughtful modern additions, creating a unique and flexible layout. Surrounded on three sides by permanently protected conservation land within the 90-acre Palmer-Taylor Preserve, the property ensures exceptional privacy and direct access to walking trails, wildlife, and tranquil natural views. A nearby stream and curated outdoor spaces-including a bluestone terrace, bocce court, and fire pit-enhance the setting. The home features multiple living areas, a primary suite with loft, a finished walk-out lower level with full bath, and potential for accessory dwelling use (subject to approvals). Extensive upgrades include updated windows, full-house air conditioning, a new high-efficiency natural gas boiler (2024), and rare underground gas service. Additional amenities include a carport with storage, backup generator system, security system, and mature, professionally designed landscaping with four-season interest. A truly distinctive property combining architectural pedigree, historic character, and modern comfort in a protected natural setting.
