About Hopkinton's Hearthstone

Hopkinton MA Realtors ~ Just SOLD 14 Carriage Hill Road Hopkinton Massachusetts. Listed at $895,000 and Sold at $840,000  by Bill Gassett, RE/MAX Executive Realty on 8/31/2011.

The new owners of this home got a heck of a house for themselves! There was not much to complain about as there was every possible amenity imaginable! This was the type of property that From the moment you set foot on the lot you could not help but being impressed!

Carriage Hill Road is near the center of town in a very popular neighborhood know as Hearthstone. The home was built by Craig Meyer, a builder with an sterling reputation of delivering a quality product.

As you walk up the brick paver walkway you will immediately notice the level of detail on the exterior of the home. As you start your tour of the inside you will find a breathtaking two story foyer with a dramatic split staircase that empties into the kitchen along with a beautiful feature window that lets in an abundance of natural sunlight.

The entry foyer is flanked both by a formal living and dining room that have graceful proportions. Both rooms are designed well with the quality appointments you would expect to find in a luxury home. The living room is the perfect area to sit and relax with it's sharp looking fireplace as well as detailed crown molding and French doors. The dining room was also very stately with rich wood work including box wainscoting.

The kitchen was enough to take anyone's breath away with it's exceptional custom Cherry cabinetry. The level of quality in the cabinetry matches what you would see in a fine furniture shop. For the cook in the family, a large center island services the kitchen well. There are dark green granite counter tops, as well as stainless appliances including a double oven and cook-top. Over in the eating area you will find plenty of space along with a set of doors out to the deck/patio area. An additional feature is a built-in desk area. Directly off the kitchen is a well planned mudroom and laundry area perfect as an informal entrance into the home. If you have kids this is the perfect area for them to take off their shoes without getting the rest of the home dirty.

One of my favorite rooms besides the kitchen has to be the cathedral family room. It was easy to see why this is the perfect area to relax watching television while still being able to see what is going on in the kitchen. There was a perfect flow from the entry to the family room and on into the kitchen. The family room had a terrific looking brick fireplace with handsome raised panel mantel.

Lastly the 1st floor had a study that was perfect for those that work out of the house on occasion. There were finely crafted built-in bookcases that flank the back wall along with French doors for privacy.

The 2nd floor of this Hopkinton home could not have a better set up for a large family. Not only are there five generous size bedrooms but two of the bedrooms had their own bath, and two had a Jack and Jill set up sharing a bath.

The master was the perfect size with an abundance of closet space, tray ceilings, and a lavish bath with large vanity area, separate tile shower, and whirlpool tub.

Finally because there was not enough stunning space in this home, the seller's finished the walk-out lower level in the same quality fashion as the 1st two floors! There was about 1840 square feet of awesome living area including a media room, game room, office, library alcove with built-ins, a kitchenette and full bath. This area would be a paradise for any kid!

Some of the other exceptional features, updates and amenities of this Hearthstone home included a new roof and gutters in 2010, a new security system in April 2011, new water heater in February 2011, sprinkler system, multiple driveway lamp posts, brick patio and walk, as well as the home being painted in 2009!

In total there are 15 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a 3 car attached garage. The lot is 1.08 acrea. The taxes are roughly $11,942.

Hearthstone is a fantastic Hopkinton Massachusetts neighborhood located off of Ash Street near the center of town.

There are 27 homes located in this convenient Hopkinton neighborhood. Hearthstone Road and Carriage Hill Road are the Streets that compromise this subdivision.

Hearthstone was approved in the mid 1990's under the Hopkinton Open Space by-law (OSLPD). Under the open space by-law the lot size is reduced but in return the developer give back land that will remain undisturbed creating a green belt.

There are probably many folks that don't remember this but Carriage Hill Road was a dead end for quite a while before the Hearthstone subdivision was built. The street had only 3 homes and was a dead end. The 1st home on the street was built in the early 1990's.

Once the road was extended the subdivision took off and many homes were built in a short time frame. Most of the homes in Hearthstone were built around the year 2000.

The minimum lot size in Hearthstone is .5 acres although there are quite a few lots that approach an acre in size.

There were a few different builders that built homes in this neighborhood but the bulk of them were done by Craig Meyer of Meyer Homes Inc. Craig has an outstanding reputation for building a real quality home.

In addition to Hearthstone, Meyer Homes also constructed the homes on Fawn Ridge Road at Brick Hill Estates, a million dollar plus luxury neighborhood on the Hopkinton/Ashland line.

The Meyer Built homes have generally captured the most money upon re-sale.

As of October 2008 the value of the homes in the neighborhood would range between around $600,000 up to in the 800's for a few of the homes.

Most of the properties would have a value between $600 - $750K.

The homes range in size from around 2900 square feet up to over 4000+ square feet. The majority of the homes are around the 3300 - 3700 square foot mark.

The terrain of the neighborhood is up and down like a few other Hopkinton subdivisions. Some of the lots have steep driveways as seen in the picture to the left.

One of the real attractive features for Hearthstone is it's close proximity to the town center. It is literally only a 1/2 mile from the Hopkinton town common.

One of the other strong suites is the fact that town sewer is available. Most of the Hopkinton's homes are serviced by septic systems other than areas around the center of town and the Lake Maspenock area.

Many buyers who relocate to the area have never had to deal with a Title V septic system. The piece of mind knowing that you don't have septic system that could fail even if it is a few decades away, can give a buyer a sense of security.

The starting line for the world famous Boston Marathon is only a short walk up the street. For many years Hopkinton has been a destination town because of the exceptional strength of Hopkinton High School and the towns excellent commuter location.

For those that like to head to Boston via the train, The MBTA is located in the adjoining towns of Southboro and Ashland. The Mass Pike is the 1st exit north on Rte 495. 

If you like living near the center of town and it's in your budget, Hearthstone would be worth a look.
