Sherborn Luxury: The Record-Setting Sale of 75 Lake Street
Navigating the Market for Custom High-End Estates in Sherborn
The Story: 75 Lake Street is one of Sherborn’s most significant modern residences. Built in 2015, this 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom custom home spans 5,764 SF and is situated on a sprawling 2.97-acre lot. It was designed for the buyer who refuses to compromise on quality, featuring soaring ceilings, a double-sided fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen that serves as the home's architectural centerpiece.
We represented the buyers in this $2,975,000 transaction, ensuring they secured a property that met their specific requirements for a private retreat with "smart home" capabilities and high-end mechanical systems. From the primary suite with its spa-inspired bath and private balcony to the professionally landscaped grounds with a custom stone patio, this property represents the pinnacle of the Sherborn lifestyle.
The Strategy:
Identifying Modern Value: Sherborn is known for historic homes, so finding a 2015 custom build with current energy efficiencies was a major win. We focused on the value of the "turn-key" condition, which is a significant driver in today’s high-cost renovation market.
Acreage & Privacy: We analyzed the lakeside proximity and the private, wooded lot to help our clients understand the rarity of this specific land-to-house ratio in MetroWest.
Market Positioning: By comparing this sale to luxury inventory in neighboring Dover and Wellesley, we helped our clients recognize the relative value of Sherborn’s estate-level properties, which offer more land and privacy for the investment.
The Outcome: Securing 75 Lake Street for $2,975,000 reinforces our position as experts in the Sherborn and Dover luxury corridors. This sale demonstrates our ability to identify and negotiate complex, high-value properties that require a deep understanding of local land use, custom construction, and high-end lifestyle amenities.
