Lovely lines in lincoln listing
The story of 259 Old Concord Road in Lincoln contains multitudes.
On first look, the home is a striking contemporary structure complemented by a guest house and detached garage and workshop sited on nearly five acres. But this is Lincoln and this is Old Concord Road, so you know there just has to be more. And you’d be right.
For one, the 4.84 acres are on a bluff overlooking Fairhaven Bay, the Sudbury River and verdant conservation lands as far as the eye can see.
Then there’s the circa 1963 guest house, designed by none other than John Quin cy Adams, great-greatgrandson of THE John Quincy Adams. Known as Quincy Adams, the noted Modernist architect was a significant contributor to Lincoln’s unique architectural pedigree and conservation efforts. To wit, the guest house is a wood-paneled, window-wrapped mid-century modern work of art.
The sprawling main house was designed to maximize the home’s idyllic vantage point and, to that end, a dramatic wall of glass stands at double height in the living room. Topped with a beamed cathedral ceiling and leading to a screened porch, it’s an inspiring space from which to take in sunsets and water views. There’s square footage with every room, from the bright, eat-in kitchen to the four bedrooms, enjoying a wow-worthy design element. It might be a skylight in an office or a fun window framing the treetops, there’s seemingly endless details to marvel at.
Outdoor living is at its finest here as well. In addition to a sparkling in-ground pool and patio area, the landscaping and gardens are a leafy oasis all the way down to the river’s edge.
Showings are available by appointment.
