Spring Brings Inventory
Sorry the site has been so quiet lately. Winter is generally a dead time in real estate around here. However, the buyers are out early and all indications are that it is going to be a very busy spring. There are multiple offers on a Peacock Farm house that just came on at $699,000. We (Bill and...
New Boston Magazine Post
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: All real estate is local. I’m part of the local brokerage Hammond Residential Real Estate, which spends a lot of time culling through and interpreting data in Boston (the “micro-environment”) as well as the spokes emanating from the city.

Tabor Hill is a cul-de-sac of Henry Hoover-designed and other modernist homes, culminating at the top of the road with buena vistas out over the reservoir, Route 2, Lexington and the Boston skyline beyond. This siting of this renovated...

New York Times on New England Modernist Perservation
Regular readers will recall a post for a listing we had for a Deck House in Lincoln. We mentioned it being in close proximity to the well-known Flansburgh House, which architecte Earl Flansburgh built for his own family (which includes his son, John of They Might Be Giants).
