Our Fifth Annual Home Tour: What’s in Store? Even if you’ve been on a previous Groton Community Home Tour, you’ll be delighted to participate in this year’s event featuring homes spanning the centuries, from as far back as the 1700s and as recently as this decade. Among this year’s highlights: you’ll tap into the innovation of a modern, environmentally friendly home; learn about life in Groton centuries ago in an antique home, view stunning natural landscaping highlighted by a “trail to a castle” and, be inspired by local artistry and decorating techniques adorning yet another. When combined with the unique offerings of select local merchants, a great excuse to spend time with family and friends while absorbing local culture and creative inspiration, you have a great way to lift your spirits and kick off the holiday season!
Home Teasers to spark your interest! HOME A: Come visit this 18th century antique colonial and be transported back in time as you walk through a home built with such lasting construction and character that it has stood strong for 275 years! You will marvel at the massive central chimney that originally heated the home through its five separate fireplaces. Decorated for a traditional Swedish Christmas, a tradition of the homeowner, this home will be a definite favorite among those who love the rich history and beauty of an antique. HOME B: Do not miss this incredible custom contemporary home which truly stands out for its balance with nature and deep respect for the environment. Constructed of environmentally friendly building materials and featuring energy efficient technologies, the homeowners have created the ultimate “Green” home. With a distinctive post and beam construction, this home is not only an architectural beauty, but also a true representation of how we can live in harmony with our surroundings. HOME C: The views from this modified Colonial will take your breath away. Sitting atop a former ski hill, this incredible home overlooks acres of land and offers a glimpse of Boston on a clear day. Decorated with warm and inviting colors and artwork by one of the homeowners, the gorgeous interior design echoes the rich natural beauty of the exterior landscape. Be sure to come visit this gorgeous contemporary home and take in all of its surroundings. HOME D: There is nothing like being able to walk from your house to the neighboring castle! Be sure to see this gorgeous contemporary cape perched on the side of Gibbet Hill. Whether from the inviting farmer’s porch or the cozy outdoor hot tub, you cannot help but be affected by the tranquil and elegant setting of this beautiful home. With its high ceilings and open floor plan, this home shows us how one floor living has its distinct advantages in both design and function. HOME E: You have likely driven by this antique treasure and always wondered what it was like inside. Now you need wonder no longer! As you enter this spectacular home, your jaw will drop as you enter its immense foyer, adorned with a historical mural and 10 foot ceilings. As you continue to notice the original pine flooring, the gorgeous fireplaces, the custom built library bookcases and more throughout this amazing structure, every room will give you a sense of this home’s long history and the level of attention given to every architectural detail. And imagine, at one time, a family used this home as a summer residence!
