Two waves produced most of what appears here. The first came in the nineteen fifties through seventies, when architects working around Boston put low slung glass and timber houses onto the wooded slopes of Oak Hill, Chestnut Hill and Waban, often sited to keep the trees. The second is current: rebuilds on existing lots across the villages, designed with open ground floors, large windows and flat or shallow rooflines. They read very differently in person. Dave DiGregorio Real Estate can explain which era a listing belongs to.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Where are the mid century houses?
- Mostly on the wooded southern slopes, in Oak Hill, parts of Chestnut Hill and Waban, where the lots were large enough and steep enough to suit the type.
- What does contemporary mean in this data?
- It is the listing style field rather than an architectural judgement, so it marks open plan houses with large glazing from any decade rather than one movement.
- What should be checked on this type?
- Window and skylight seals on large glazing, flat or low pitch roof condition and history, insulation in cathedral ceilings, deck framing, and heating performance in rooms with a lot of glass.
