Property Description

A Once-Celebrated Home Ready for Its Next Chapter Once recognized by *Better Homes & Gardens*, this extraordinary Concord property was designed to be something truly special. Today, it offers a rare opportunity for a buyer with vision to restore its beauty and bring an unforgettable home back to life. Time and deferred maintenance have left their mark, and the once-spectacular landscaping has become overgrown. Yet beneath it all remains the foundation of a beautiful, imaginative property filled with character, craftsmanship, and possibilities. Much of the needed improvement appears cosmetic, making this an exciting opportunity to uncover what has been hidden and create a remarkable personal retreat. The expansive grounds feature extensive custom hardscaping, large decorative boulders, mature trees, and a dramatic pond with a waterfall. An irrigation well, backyard tea house, and established landscaping provide the framework for restoring a private garden oasis. Inside, the home is equally distinctive. A massive solarium with its own mini-split system offers a light-filled space for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or creative pursuits. The original garage has been converted into a bedroom or bonus room with an adjoining oversized laundry room. A later addition includes a tandem garage and a finished loft above it, creating even more options for a home office, studio, recreation room, guest space, or multigenerational living. Located near highly regarded local schools, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this is far more than a traditional fixer. It is an opportunity to reimagine and restore a unique property that may never be duplicated. Is this the home you have been waiting to bring back to greatness?
