Home of the Week: A Picturesque Monument Street Property

By Michele Taranto

The purchase of 1123 Monument St., in Concord, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This elegant pastoral estate is forever protected by conservation land and, with its strategic location set remotely from the street, this property will become the signature family property for generations to enjoy.

This three-and-a-half acre parcel, once part of a 17-acre estate, provides spectacular meadow views from every direction, thanks to the hundreds of preserved conservation grounds surrounding the lot. Private and serene, the nature enthusiast (or even novice), will enjoy outdoor recreation twelve months of the year. New residents will be tempted by the surrounding grounds to experience new exercise, such as snow shoeing, cross country skiing or even take pleasure in long hikes in the woods or absorbing the spectacular views on warm, summer evenings as the sun begins to set.

While the residence is currently very spacious and comfortable, its sizeable lot offers unlimited options for expansion, renovation or even customizing a brand new home. This property grants all the wishes of even the most discerning buyer. 

The home is conveniently designed with a single expansive floor of living space, offering four bedrooms, including a master suite with a private deck and sweeping countryside scenes.  The main living spaces share a unique three-sided fireplace, and all its generously-sized rooms invite occupants outside through expansive walls of glass. This practical blueprint features a large 23 x 15 square foot living room with fireplace, a 24 x 12 square foot dining area with fireplace, a 16 x 13 square foot kitchen, and a 13 x 10 square foot fire-placed study. For sleeping quarters, it offers a 16 x 15 square foot master bedroom and three bedrooms measuring 12 x 15, 12 x 12 and 12 x 11 square feet.

Although this property proposes the illusion of a private retreat, many shopping and restaurant choices and historic landmarks are just a short distance away. This includes, Concord Center, Great Meadows, Estabrook Woods, Punkatassett Hill, the Concord River and the Old North Bridge. 

This exceptional Concord property is certainly a local treasure and one that will provide years of relaxation and comfort. The only question that remains is, who will be its new fortunate title holder?
