Newbury 03

Nestled within 25 acres of meadows and woodland, this private retreat offers a rare blend of architectural sophistication and tranquil seclusion—just minutes from dining, shopping, and parks. Thoughtfully reimagined by its current owners, the home features refined updates and extensive landscaping that highlight its natural setting. Originally built by renowned builder Bruce Thomas as a family sanctuary, the residence exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and timeless vision. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of two naturally fed, swimmable lakes, bringing the outdoors into nearly every room. At the front, broad vistas of the shared lake greet you; at the rear, serene reflections shimmer across your private water expanse. The newly refreshed kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, Miele and Wolfe appliances, dual sinks, and an induction range. It flows into an open dining area, inviting both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. Inside, soaring ceilings, walnut floors, and fireplaces combine comfort with understated luxury. A reimagined mudroom—complete with farm sink, dishwasher, and built-ins—adds practicality near the first-floor laundry. The primary suite is a retreat within itself, with a sitting room and fireplace, three bathrooms, and three walk-in closets. Upstairs, four bedrooms and three full baths provide generous accommodations, with a second laundry for convenience. The finished lower level includes a private office, full bath, and secure storage. A dual-purpose barn anchors the estate: upstairs, an expansive entertainment space; downstairs, functional storage—all in rustic-modern style. Six terraces and patios are strategically placed for sunrises, lakeside moments, and stargazing. With geothermal heating and cooling, architectural integrity, and refined finishes, this property is more than a home—it’s a legacy estate that combines luxurious rural living with unmatched proximity to urban convenience.
