Wake up to something extraordinary. At 152 Adams Street, the Neponset River becomes your personal canvas—sunrises, seasons, and sky, all unfolding outside your windows. Perched on a sprawling 1.38-acre parcel of gently sloping grounds, this Milton Hill estate is one of the rare properties to offer both direct water access and sweeping panoramic vistas. The gracious exterior gives way to interiors that balance historic gravitas with modern interventions for function and style. A full-scale renovation in 2017 overhauled the home’s systems—electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and building envelope—while preserving its original soul through curated updates. Thoughtful floor plan enhancements and interior finishes designed to deliver a subtle impact, like windows that frame every sunrise and custom millwork that whispers of the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The result is a home that balances the formality of yesteryear with the casual expectations of today's living, creating a natural flow for both quiet mornings and large-scale entertaining. A cozy den and an expansive double-island kitchen make way for a perfectly positioned great room, ticking the box for those who seek a more contemporary open floor plan. An enviable mudroom with walls of storage and a special spot for four-legged family members. Upstairs, find five generously proportioned bedrooms—including four en-suite. A versatile third-floor retreat offers flexible living space and an elevated river perspective, perfect for spotting bald eagles in flight.

Outside, a sprawling lawn leads to the river's edge, and the natural treeline creates moments of serene enclosure. Yet the home remains intimately connected to town life—Milton Village and Lower Mills shopping and dining are but a short stroll away.

Here, architecture and landscape unite to craft a sanctuary where each morning feels like a new beginning.

Showings are by appointment only.
