New Natick home has everything

What better way for Boston-area house hunters to welcome the brand new year than with a brand new home?

The new construction at 10 Indian Rock Road in Natick is an ideal space for anyone whose New Year’s resolution is “don’t settle.” The home, which overlooks Natick’s peaceful Nonesuch Pond and includes beach rights, has it all. Sure, a spirit of compromise is important when making a big decision like a home purchase, but 10 Indian Rock Road has so many pluses, one may not have to exercise those compromise muscles after all.

Buying into new construction in the winter means everything is in top shape and ready to enjoy, and the home’s giant lot, more than three-quarters of an acre, is as good for a snow fort or two as it is for running around the sprinklers come summer. The other benefits come in the form of the home’s creature comforts and high-end finishes.

The home’s restaurant-level kitchen can fit the whole family — or a hockey team — and is designed for efficiency without scrimping on style. The Thermador appliance package is a stunner, most notably the 48-inch eight-burner cooktop and double wall oven. Built into the eat-in island topped with quartzite are an under-counter microwave and a two-drawer fridge — the perfect accessible spot for after-school snacks and cold drinks.

Continuing the practical-but-make-it-beautiful trend inside the home is the dual-sided fireplace between the dining and family rooms. It’s cozy yet contemporary, like the rest of the home. The first floor has an easy and open flow between defined spaces, a nice change of pace from open concept everything.

With more than 5,000 square feet of space, you bet there’s so much more to this home. In addition to an office on the first floor that could be used as a bedroom as there’s an adjacent full bath, there’s a fully finished walk-out lower level, the site of a game room or home gym perhaps, as well as a finished third floor with a bedroom, home office nook and a full bath. The master bedroom, on the second floor of the home, looks out over the pond and surrounding tall trees, as does the master bath, with its standalone Kohler tub tucked into the corner under the windows for a bubble bath with a view.

An attached garage with two parking spaces plus ample driveway parking makes winter drives easier, as does the close proximity to the Mass Pike just a few miles away, and upscale shopping and dining options at the Natick Mall.

An additional buildable house lot with pond views and a 60-foot shoreline is available for purchase separately or together with the property. The sale of the home and lot is being handled by Margie Kern, Bekka Cirel and Arman Mavai with Unlimited Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-939-7800.
