Magnificent one-of-a-kind Colonial Revival with sprawling manicured park-like grounds. Boasting privacy and proximity, the home features a spacious entry hall, formal living & dining, 7brs, 5 fireplaces, 5000+ SqFt, rustic library, In-Law/Au Pair suite, wine cellar, game room, & 3 car garage parking. An idyllic sanctuary to share a lifetime of memories w/ family & friends

BUILT IN 1939 FOR BOSTON INVESTMENT BANKER JEROME PRESTON, who later became the founding chairman of the Boston University Medical Center, the original wing of this Colonial Revival home was the work of architect John Barnard. Barnard built noteworthy revival homes over a 30-year span, including the Cornish Estate in Centerville, Massachusetts and the Henry I. Harriman House in Newton, now on the National Register of Historic Places. Preston was also known for his fondness for exceptional landscape design, working on occasion with Arthur Shurtleff, who, in turn worked in the offices of the famed Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., a force in American Landscape architecture at the turn of the 20th century.
