President Taft honored him by appointing him Ambassador to France.

A son of Robert's, Gaspar, was lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and also ran for governor of the state but lost to James Curley. 

After many years and generations the family have now decided to part with this treasure.

Church Street is a frozen era in time, rambling stone walls, charming gardens, and hidden
estates have kept this area unspoiled. 

Enjoy unobstructed views that stretch across the waters in three directions plus the colorful natural vegetation that leads to the shore. 

As one enters the front hall the view captivates and then one starts to observe the handmade winding stairway, the subtle alcove, plus the intricate spindles, moldings et cetera - all untouched. 

Off to the right is a suite: living room with fireplace, large corner bedroom and private bath.

Towards the front of the house is another large living room with fireplace and directly across the hall is a dining room with fireplace.  An enclosed porch invites one to sit and enjoy the sun, the sparkling waters and the colorful natural vegetation

Service area and country kitchen.

Second Floor:  Three large bedrooms, two baths, and additional maid's rooms.  The space is ideal for changes to meet today's needs.

To one side of the property is an early tired Carriage House. 

We invite you to come and see this memorable property and have fun as you imagine making it your very own.
