4 Distinctive Massachusetts Homes, from Waterfront to Estate Enclaves

Along the water’s edge on Webster Lake, this custom ranch by Lebel Builders (2013) spans more than 100 feet of shoreline, with lake views carried through every room. The open-concept living and dining area is designed for the setting, pairing cathedral ceilings with walls of windows that frame sweeping panoramas. In the kitchen, easy flow leads to a screened porch for breezy, bug-free summer evenings. A sun-filled office and a private primary suite add calm to the main level, the latter finished with tray ceilings and a triple slider overlooking the water. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms join a spacious family room plus flexible office or fitness space. Outdoor living unfolds across a Trex deck with retractable awning and an expansive patio with a stone fireplace—made for lingering lakeside.

Set on a pristine acre-plus lot in Holden, this custom brick-and-stone Colonial pairs a timeless presence with thoughtful indoor-outdoor living and seasonal reservoir views. An inground pool, patio, and tranquil water feature create an easy backdrop for afternoons outside, whether entertaining or unwinding. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer with a bridal staircase and cathedral ceiling sets the tone for generously sized rooms finished with exceptional millwork, hardwood floors, and abundant built-in storage throughout. Five bedrooms offer flexibility, anchored by a luxurious primary retreat with a private balcony overlooking the backyard, a fireplace sitting area, and a spa-like bath. The layout may also offer potential for multigenerational living with an inlaw or future ADU (buyer to verify). Close to The Bancroft School, major routes, and the town recreation center, daily life feels both connected and quietly refined.

Set on over 3 acres in a highly sought-after pocket of Swansea, this mixed-use residential/commercial property sits a stone’s throw from the Coles River with easy access to major highways. Built in 1950, the sprawling ranch offers three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with a freshly painted interior, generous space, and many closets for everyday ease. Attached, a large kennel—with its own half bath—connects to the house at several points for owner convenience, while a separate outdoor entrance supports client and pet flow. Long known as the Swansea Pet Lodge for 75 years, the kennel remains largely original and functional, with a dedicated grooming room and a whelping room. A heat pump provides heat and A/C in the large kennel room, as radiant heat is no longer functioning, and the current owner will provide a client list with transfer.
