Hammond Residential Real Estate Lists Highest-Priced Home in Waltham

Hammond Residential Real Estate has listed the most expensive home on the market in Waltham. Priced at $1,795,000, the listing price surpasses the highest sale recorded in the city since 2000, which was $1.45 million, according to the MLS Property Information Network. The home is represented by Leslie Kaplan and Cheryll Getman, senior sales associates affiliated with Hammond’s Chestnut Hill office.

The reason for the higher price is evident; this large, 4,333 square-foot custom home on more than half-an-acre is a unique find in the Waltham area. It offers five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and ample privacy with scenic views bordering the Charles River.

“Every room in this home was magnificently designed to take advantage of the property’s breathtaking riverside location. It is truly a retreat on the Charles,” said Kaplan.

The contemporary home, built in 2006, was crafted to offer flowing interior design. The open floor plan is accentuated by high ceilings and expansive walls. Glass doors lead to a deck overlooking rolling grounds, an in-ground swimming pool and a private rowing dock on the river.

The home boasts a chef's kitchen appointed with high-end appliances, extensive storage, granite countertops and a sizeable dining area. A living room with fireplace, a sitting area, bedroom, full bathroom and mudroom complete the first level.

Both second floor bedrooms provide access to another deck and are brightly lit through walls of glass that offer picture views of the river. The master suite includes a window seat, gas fireplace, separate office/sitting room, laundry, dressing area, walk-in closet and four-piece bath with steam shower.

Located on the lower level are two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a family

room with kitchenette, laundry area and direct access to the outdoors. There is a two-car, attached garage, in addition to a third rear garage providing boat storage and workshop space.

Located near Brandeis University and close to Boston, this home offers solitude and outdoor recreation while still being conveniently close to I-95 and commuter rail service into Boston.
