Cary Point, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


This one in Cohasset, Massachusetts is an interesting example of what happens when an older house meets a new owner with a taste for the modern. This home sits on a promontory called Cary's Point, which overlooks Sandy Cove. The current owners bought the home around 2003 for about $4.75 million and gave it a total renovation and expansion. Believe it or not, this home was built in 1903-04 but has been completely renovated with new floors, new windows, new heating, audio, video and lighting systems and more. The details here are pretty fantastic; the kitchen counter for example appears to be composed of agate slices. The windows are all custom made with curving metal accents. There is not just a heated three-car detached garage but also a two-car garage with a turntable floor so the owner never has to back out of the garage again. The reflecting pool has a huge sculpture. The current owners have a taste for modern design and so the home is currently a showcase for all sorts of contemporary furniture and an expansive art collection. The property has a dining patio and gazebo with perfect views of the water. The property has access to two private beaches and two moorings. The owner is even offering his 46-foot Sunseeker powerboat along with the estate. The estate is listed at $19.5 million with Dean and Hamilton.

Lionsgate, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


We've covered an estate named Lion's Gate before but I much prefer this Lionsgate. It's a home built in 1904 which sets on the Gulph River in Cohasset, Massachusetts. The home has been restored to its early American Gothic Style by the current owners. The home takes its name from the iron gate which features two large stone pillars topped with lions. The nearly ten acre estate includes a rose garden, French parterre garden with quatrefoil fish ponds, arbors, carved stone lion's seat, a two-hole golf course and putting green,  as well as an inground gunite pool. The 16-room mansion includes old-fashioned details such as a parlor, a formal music space which opens to an enclosed porch and a wood paneled library. There are five bedrooms including a master suite that takes up the entire third floor. It is listed at $11.5 million. After the jump, New England Gothic gone light and airy.
