200 LAKE STREET, SHERBORN

I. Introduction

A. The Town of Sherborn

Sherborn is a small semi-rural community located approximately 18 miles southwest of Boston. The town has a population of just under 5,000. A high degree of volunteerism exists due to strong citizen support for town projects and a commitment to excellence in public education. These community values have characterized Sherborn for more than 300 years. The town is comprised of residents who like to be considered as urban sophisticates - enjoying urban tastes combined with the numerous advantages of a smaller town. Families choose Sherborn for the combination of good schools, low crime and the high rate of home ownership. Sherborn schools rank high in the state and Boston Magazine has ranked the High School, which is shared with the neighboring town of Dover, #1 for the past three years.

Open space comprises more than 50% of the town’s area and minimum house lot sizes are one, two or three acres depending on location. A central feature of the community is Farm Pond, which covers approximately 124 acres and is 58 feet at its deepest. The pond has always been a draw for those who seek to live on or near the water and remain close to Boston. Residents can swim, fish, sail and row as well as moor their boats at available moorings or at their own dock.

B. Owners’ Statement

“We have enjoyed being part of the Sherborn community for thirty-three years, thirty of which we have been delighted to live and raise our children at 200 Lake Street. Sherborn is a very small town so you can get to know everyone. People will want to get to know you and vice versa. Like us, you and your family will develop lifelong friends here. Sherborn has a very strong sense of community and an excellent school system with small classes that routinely graduate students going on to Ivy League schools.

Our house is private and quiet, yet located close to the schools and to town. We love looking over Farm Pond. Our children can walk to the beach within minutes. There are wonderful programs and lessons for kids and families and the town has an active swim team. The Sherborn Yacht Club is great! The club offers sailing boats, paddleboards, kayaks and reciprocal privileges to other yacht clubs. In the winter there is skating and ice fishing. It’s very picturesque.

Our house is well laid out for entertaining. The rooms are large and inviting. The property is part wooded, has large flat areas of lawn for ball games and extensive plantings. We spend a great amount of time outdoors enjoying several terraces, a grilling station and a private swimming pool area.

We are sure the next family that lives here will be as excited about the house, land, views and community as we are.”

II. Property Description

Built in 1967, 200 Lake Street in Sherborn is a superb example of how a “midcentury modern” single-family home serves the millennial lifestyle just as well as it served the age of The Graduate. Stripped to its structural, material and spatial essentials, this six-bedroom/five-bathroom residence allows for flexible live/work arrangements. Neither renovation nor expansion projects are encumbered by historical ornamentation, classical symmetry, or excessive walls to cramp one’s style.

Approached from a private winding driveway through the wilderness and across sweeping lawns, the asymmetrical tripartite design of the house with its two monolithic brick chimneys is revealed. This multifaceted, multilevel residence is enclosed in a plain gray vertical-sided envelope. The three degrees of height are unified by a hipped roof creating soaring ceilings.

The vast grounds offer a hillside view of the beautiful Farm Pond. New owners can decide on whether to cut more trees to expand the pond view.

The property is centrally located near the town center, Pine Hill Elementary School, Dover-Sherborn Regional Middle and High schools, Sherborn Library, Rocky Narrows Reservation and the Charles River
