Perched on 562 feet of frontage and 1.66 acres, the newer Colonial at 24 Westcott Drive in Hopkinton is a singular piece of real estate in the coveted Cranberry Cove neighborhood.
Minutes from Whitehall Reservoir and Whitehall State Park, the impressive property stands among mature evergreens. A brick facade and dramatic roof lines with dormers give off that country estate aesthetic and why not? Wouldn’t we all like to tuck ourselves into a peaceful world of our own at the end of the day?
Lending itself just as nicely to quiet family nights or more raucous extended-family-and-the-kids’-soccer-team affairs, the home has sufficient gravitas to wow guests without giving up the cozy factor. Nothing like welcoming guests via the two-story foyer and ushering them into the formal dining room, connected to a butler’s pantry and huge kitchen. Keeping it low key? The epic kitchen includes a breakfast bar at its oversized island, a sunlit dining area, and access to a balcony for al fresco brunches. A family room with a fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the yard flows from the kitchen.
Even more entertaining and family fun space can be found on the walk-out lower level. Leading out to the splashy patio and heated gunite pool, this expansive floor includes a bar area, kitchen, and ample space to host the ultimate Super Bowl party.
Five bedrooms complete the estate — which boasts close to 7,600 square feet — including the primary suite with its luxe bathroom and soaking tub with treetop views.
Open house hours are Saturday, January 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 22, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The estate is on the market for $2,875,000. The sale is represented by The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-852-7018.
