About this home
Tucked away on a private 1.5-acre lot, 56 Whitney Road is an architectural gem that celebrates clean lines and geometric silhouettes, offering a refreshing departure from the traditional. Inside, the layout is both airy and intimate, anchored by soaring ceilings and expansive glass that invites the outdoors in. The main house features two comfortable bedrooms and a dedicated office/bedroom space, perfect for those who work from home. Convenience is key with a bedroom and a full bathroom located on the first floor. Central heat and AC. For even more room to roam, the finished lower level provides a flexible space—ideal for a gym or a hobby room—along with a half-bath, laundry, and storage space.The property’s versatility extends to the impressive 3-to-4 car garage. Currently outfitted with a wood stove for a cozy workshop environment, the space can easily be adjusted to accommodate a fourth vehicle. Above the garage, you’ll find a bright, multi-purpose suite complete with a small kitchen, a full bathroom, and a loft. Whether you envision a private guest quarters, studio or a secondary professional office, this space adapts to your needs. Outside, the grounds are a true highlight. The mostly-cleared lot features mature flower beds and a large, open yard perfect for outdoor activities. A substantial shed provides ample room for bikes and equipment, keeping the aesthetic clean and organized. It’s a home that feels like a private sanctuary, perfectly positioned to take in the serene, wooded surroundings while remaining remarkably close to Harvard’s vibrant town center with the award-winning schools, the local library, and the picturesque town beach at Bare Hill Pond.
