111 Old Pickard RoadConcord, MA 01742Price: $2,650,000

This exceptional five bedroom, four and one half bath home was uniquely and thoughtfully renovated by renowned Concord architect Elise Stone who combined architectural character, generous scale, beautiful craftsmanship, and an unusually effortless flow. Set on a large corner lot, the property offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining deeply connected to one of the most coveted family neighborhoods in Concord. The gracious foyer opens to a private first-floor home office with a wall of custom bookcases, creating a beautiful and functional workspace just off the main entrance. Also off the foyer, the sunken living room offers a warm and inviting gathering space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The elegant dining room opens directly to a wonderful screened-in porch. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances, a large walk-in pantry, and a sunny eat-in area that flows naturally into the spacious family room, complete with a gas fireplace. Sliders from the family room open to a large deck that descends to a stone patio and the flat, expansive backyard. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, with abundant natural light, a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, and a large custom walk-in closet. Four additional spacious bedrooms are served by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, one with double sinks. A second private home office tucked away on the second floor offers additional flexibility for working from home. The finished lower level with fitness area and walk-out access to the backyard provides valuable additional living and recreation space. One of the property's most distinctive qualities is its rare combination of privacy and community. The property abuts wooded Pickard Trust land, creating a remarkably private backdrop, while the property remains connected to the Indian Pipe/Stone Root neighborhood. The rare three-car garage and dual driveway access from Old Pickard Road and Indian Pipe Road provide ample parking, convenient access to both streets, and plenty of room for shooting pucks, rollerblading, and playing basketball. The location is equally compelling, with easy biking access to the bike path, Willard Elementary School, Concord Middle School, and White Pond, vibrant downtown West Concord and the commuter rail. This is a truly special Concord property-offering thoughtful architectural design, beautiful custom details, exceptional space, and wonderful place to call home!
