Emphasis on elegance in Weston
Even if you’re not familiar with Patrick Ahearn’s portfolio, you might have already swooned over some of the architect’s timeless work and restorations on the Cape or in one of Boston’s tony suburbs.
Spanning styles, from a Cotswold cottage to a grand Colonial, Ahearn’s confident touch is all about livable elegance. With 2 Meadowbrook Road in Weston, just down the road from the Weston Golf Club, buyers will find a stately Colonial on 3.5 private acres.
This may be an odd and particular fixation, but there’s something intensely satisfying about the home’s symmetrical exterior. As the long driveway winds past the home’s tennis court — lighted for evening matches — the home emerges, all 10,029 square feet of it.
Boasting six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and myriad other spaces for working, working out or hanging out, 2 Meadowbrook Road is a home that might attract guests who won’t want to leave. And, with this much space, they may not have to.
There’s a natural flow to living here.
The chef ’s kitchen opens to a sunny bay breakfast nook with views of the patio and lush grounds. After breakfast, kick back in the family room around the fireplace as glass-paned doors flood the room with warmth, or head to the sunroom to finish your coffee.
Need to get some work done? A cherry-clad study offers a refuge for a home office or library.
In addition to hosting family and guests in the formal living or dining room, the home’s lower level provides endless entertainment options, with a wet bar, game room, and a recliner-festooned home theater with surround sound that’s just missing the popcorn.
As expected, the home’s finishes are top-of-the-line, from the coffered ceiling in the living room to the granite-encased fireplaces, and generous wainscoting.
But even better, it’s a home the new owners can see themselves building memories in.
