Riverfront Elegance: 384 West Street
A Precinct 1 Colonial Masterpiece with Charles River Access
The Story: Built in 2000, this 4,108-square-foot home features 5 spacious bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The interior is defined by high-end finishes, including a massive Chef's kitchen with a granite-topped waterfall island and a dramatic library with a wood-burning fireplace. A flexible first-floor office with a full bath provides the perfect setup for a modern home office or a main-level guest suite.
Our Dedham Inventory Tracker shows that Precinct 1 remains one of the most stable and sought-after luxury enclaves in Norfolk County. While this property last sold in 2021 for $1,375,000, the current Zestimate has climbed to $1,928,900, reflecting a substantial 40% increase in market value over just three years.
The Strategy:
Leveraging Riverfront Scarcity: We positioned the Charles River access as the property's "unique value proposition," appealing to buyers seeking an outdoor lifestyle within a luxury framework.
Functional Luxury Focus: Highlighted the dual staircases, the three-car garage, and the meticulously planned mudroom—features that high-end buyers prioritize for daily family efficiency.
School District and Private Proximity: Emphasized the home's location near Riverdale Elementary and prestigious private schools like Noble and Greenough, making it a top choice for education-focused families.
Entertainment-Ready Design: Marketed the brick patio and professional landscaping as the ultimate setting for large-scale New England summer gatherings.
The Outcome: 384 West St serves as a hallmark for the Precinct 1 market. Its rapid appreciation validates the strategy of investing in classic Colonial architecture in high-demand, high-amenity neighborhoods with unique geographical assets like river access.
