Haverhill home boasts breathtaking views
24.01.10
HAVERHILL — The Overlook neighborhood on Seven Sisters Road in the Riverside section is arguably the most beautiful location in the city.
The Overlook wraps around one of the many hills in the area, boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding land, and contains houses that are both magnificent and unique.
Sitting at the very top of the hill is 93 Seven Sisters Road. This superior custom home, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, looks like a Nantucket Cape on the outside and feels like a European villa on the inside.
The top of the hill is serene, and only the sound of birds chirping interrupts the silence. Old fashioned, black lampposts line the street, and behind the house is a slope which affords 180 degree views of the Renaissance Golf Course. This world-class golf course boasts an 18-hole Brian Silva Signature course, a full-service and recently updated clubhouse facility, a swimming pool, and much more. Memberships are available for residents at a discount.

Wellesley Home of the Week: 5 Crescent St.
14.01.10
In a quiet neighborhood steps from the Wellesley Farms neighborhood and commuter rail, a lovely, gray carriage-house style home looks over the curving street of similar equally charming homes. Taking in its gently sloping hip-style roof -- large, paned front window overlooking the front lawn, and rough-hewn, white exposed beam ceilings inside -- you’d be forgiven for thinking the home is older than it is.
You’d probably take a look at the screened, able-to-open skylights that allow lots of natural sunlight and fresh air to two upstairs bedrooms and the downstairs dining room and kitchen – and think what modern, energy-friendly taste the home’s current owners had to add these touches.
But this full of historic charm single-family home, on the market for $749,000 by Medfield Properties, LLP, is actually a well-done reproduction of a carriage house, constructed just 23 years ago. Careful updates put in place over the past five years, by current owners, have enhanced its warmth and livability.
