Weld Pond Estate
Precinct 1, Dedham, MA
$6,500,000
Why we love the Weld Pond Estate:
- Stunning 14-acre site, with water views from the estate’s formal rooms and formal gardens
- Fitness and fun. Pool and pond-side beach with granite dock for swimming, fishing, boating, paddle boarding, a billiard room, gym, boche & tennis courts.
- The carriage house is a domain of its own with three offices, a conference room, a guest suite, a caterer’s kitchen, and reception lounge
- Thoroughly restored and updated grounds, structures, and systems
- All of this in the heart of Dedham’s Precinct One, with convenient commute to Boston and Logan Airport and top-notch schools.
Why it made the list:
The owners invested significantly more than the offer price to make this 12,111-square foot, grand 14-acre estate, a wonderful home for his family to live and entertain in, and an equally great place for getting work done. A perfect deal for balancing work and life.
