Newton mansion a home run
The Red Sox’ opening day isn’t until March 30 and until then, we’ll take any baseball and baseball-adjacent tidbits we can get.
In this case, it’s a baseball-real estate crossover in Newton. Former Red Sox first baseman Eric Hosmer and wife, Mansion Global host Kacie McDonnell Hosmer, have listed their 1936 West Newton mansion as Hosmer heads to the Chicago Cubs.
Extensively renovated by local outfit Thoughtforms, whose work shines across New England and beyond — the brick Colonial estate maintains its traditional grandeur outside while opening up the interior for maximum brightness and flow.
Making the most of the home’s sprawling footprint — we’re talking more than 8,000 square feet here — the estate’s lavish living room and sunroom look out onto the manicured grounds, thick treeline ensuring peace and privacy. The sunroom itself is the home’s showstopper with its three walls of expertly crafted window arrays — although we’re also partial to the sleek gourmet kitchen with equally stunning views of the landscaping.
Families that crave space and amenities will find plenty of both here, with five bedrooms on the second floor, and a lower level with a home gym and a wine cellar.
Sited on more than an acre, the estate enjoys patio space for outdoor entertaining and an inviting front lawn and mature trees galore.
Open house hours are Sunday, March 5, from 1p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information about the home, on the market for $6,575,000, contact Manny Sarkis with The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman, 781-603-8702. Home Showcase: Address: 35 Wykeham Road, Newton, MA 02465 Bedrooms: 6
