A Large Brick Estate Near Main Street

Most weeks while doing the Home of the Week column, I resist the temptation to highlight the most expensive places on the market because there can be a huge difference between "expensive" and "interesting and distinctive."

Here's an exception that just went on the market at 5 Ashley Court in Lynnfield however. It's an 8,000 square foot estate, described in the listing as "palatial and meticulously maintained." Along with all that living space, there's a three-quarter of an acre lot to unwind on.

There's a chef's kitchen, a second-story atrium with good natural light, a formal dining room complete with a butler's pantry, a couple of hut tubs, and an entertainment room with a bar. This also happens to be the only real estate listing I've ever seen in my short time writing on this topic that includes the term "art gallery."

This home is listed by RE/MAX Leading Edge, Marjorie Youngren Team. For property assistance call Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage at 866-339-6533.
