Street is adorned with artifacts from foreign lands and exudes the
energy of a thousand once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The current owners spent the last 40 years traveling the globe,

Sitting on an acre of land, this luxurious residence is proceeded
by a wrap-around circular driveway, offering an imperial approach
to a private entrance atop a gentle hill.
On the first floor, high ceilings, wood paneling and detailed
molding compliment the chefs kitchen and breakfast area referred to
as a magnet for friends to gather around the island for
conversation, horsdoeuvres, cocktails and wine, according to the

Off the kitchen, one door leads to a spacious outdoor patio
overlooking the tree-lined yard and pond, while another door leads
to the basement level. Those lucky enough to pass through this
second door are then transported through a brick entrance right to
the heart of Tuscany.
A candlelit corridor, shallow alcoves housing sconces, wine
bottles, and paintings of the Tuscan countryside create an
environment as lovely and pretty as the most intimate restaurant in
the hills of Italy. A tradition of buying wine on Fridays prefaced
the story of many nights spent in this beautiful space, hosting
intimate dinners made in the full kitchen or relaxing with a bottle
of rare Bordeaux in one of three selective wine rooms.
The second floor offers three bedrooms and two full baths. The
master suite exudes the serenity of Indonesia, specifically that of
the beautifully island paradise of Bali. Handcrafted Balinese
pillars flank the bed while a Balinese door opens a cabinet in the
bathroom. Another bedroom on the floor offers the airy warmth of
Africa with design inspiration and authentic fabrics from the
owners travels to the continent.
The sellers attest to 535 Worcesters irreplaceable magic: Having
lived in our home for 40 years, weve had some amazing times there.

special people in our lives. Its been a home of warmth, friendship,
and many celebratory gatherings.
The homes history is one of good fortune, success, and
happiness. 535 Worcester has been a sacred space for us, and it is
our wish to transfer that specialness to the new owner.
