A Majestic Colonial Revival in Tewksbury’s Glennon Farm Estates
A gracious stone front Colonial Revival home is sited on 4.83 wooded acres in one of Tewksbury’s finest neighborhoods, Glennon Farm Estates. The sun-filled floor plan of about 4,900 square feet provides four bedrooms, three full and two half baths. Set far back from a quiet cul-de-sac street, a long paved drive passes over a stone bridge to the circular front drive. This majestic home is capped by a traditional cedar shake roof, while its stone front is balanced by clapboard siding on three sides. Of special note are the carefully planned grounds, where a goldfish pond, hundreds of perennials, native plantings and flowering trees enhance the countryside views.
Authentic Colonial touches throughout the home include wide crown and custom moldings, wainscoting, random width oak floors, built-in bookcases and four fireplaces. The point of entry is an elegant two-story foyer featuring a split gallery staircase with custom wool carpeting over marble flooring. The foyer opens onto some of the home’s principal gathering spaces including a formal living room with five-inch wide board oak flooring, a wood burning fireplace with marble façade and hearth, crown moldings and circle top windows. A formal dining room has an imaginative hand painted mural, wainscoting and wide board oak floors. It is accessed by a set of double French doors or a charming pocket door. In the library, raised panel walls and built-in cabinetry are inviting details. The stylish gourmet kitchen is fitted with custom-created cabinets, a brick wall fireplace, hand painted ceramic tile backsplash, painted tile countertops and exposed beams. Upper-end appliances from Thermador™, Sub-Zero™ and KitchenAid™ streamline meal preparation, while the adjoining butler’s pantry is well-equipped for storage and entertaining needs. A window wall of glass doors reveals a private bluestone terrace with striking views of the colorful gardens and goldfish pond.
Opening from the kitchen is a grandly-scaled great room with beamed cathedral ceilings, second level bridge overlook, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, skylights, Palladian and circle top windows. Glass doors open onto the patio and rear deck.
Upstairs, the tray ceiling master suite is privately situated away from the remaining bedrooms. This retreat provides spacious his and her walk-in closets with built-ins, as well as additional closet storage space. A marble façade gas fireplace anchors the suite, and a sunny sitting room is a welcome addition. The master bath is illuminated by skylights and a picture window overlooking the serene landscape. It offers a jetted whirlpool tub, separate tile shower, marble-topped double sink vanity and commode. The second level is completed by three more bedrooms which share two full baths.
A finished lower level hosts a temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar with a 950-bottle capacity. Media and exercise rooms complete this part of the home.
Much care and thought was put into the home’s surrounding landscape. It features dozens of flowering and ornamental trees including Bartlett Pear, Crab Apple, Kwanzan Cherry, Magnolias, Dogwoods, Japanese Maples and Redbuds. Scores of flowering or ornamental shrubs such as Hemlock, Viburnum, Winterberry, Fothergill, Oak Leaf Hydrangea, Holly, Barberry, Lucothoe, Spirea, Weigilia, Boxwood and Andromeda highlight the grounds. Over 100 varieties of perennials, hundreds of flowering bulbs and decorative grasses surround the home and can be enjoyed from two bluestone patios and the wood deck. A sparkling goldfish pond framed by a waterfall presents flowering water lilies during the summer months. Approximately three acres of the property are enclosed by deer fencing.
Taking in full measure of the land’s beauty, this home is located high in the midst of some of Tewksbury’s prettiest countryside, near the historic village of Mountainville and Oldwick. These hamlets boast a charming mixture of Victorian, Federal, New England and Georgian style homes. Interstate highways 78 and 287 are nearby, providing travel to cosmopolitan centers and corporate hubs. The proximity of the interstates brings most metropolitan international airports within 45 minutes to two hours travel time.
