Retire nan wout la nan youn nan zòn ki pi bèl nan Bedford, desann yon chimen ki antoure ak pye bwa, se 328 McLain Street. Desine ak bati an 1906 pa renomè konpayi Delano & Aldrich kòm retrè peyi Jij Learned Hand, rezidans kolonyal sa a sitiye sou plis pase 16 acr, ak pyebwa espès, lawn ki laj, ak jaden perenèl ki kreye yon anviwònman ki ra ak trankil. Enfòmasyon sou prive ak anpil espas ki nan kèk minit de tren/eskol/magazen, tout sa ki jis yon èdtan nan vil la, se pafè kòm yon kay pou tout tan oswa kòm yon kay nan peyi a. Stil li a ki depase tan fè li atiran kounye a tankou lè li te bati pou premye fwa.

Kay la ofri tout karakteristik ki make vi nan peyi Bedford: pisin ak kabana chik, kòti akeyan, fèt tankou yon Brooklyn ki rankontre Paris, ser, kay moun ki okipe, garaj apa, ak yon estab pou antretyen.

Anndan, sal vivan ki chaje ak limyè solèy ak gwo sal manje a, toude gen cheminé, gen pòt frans ki louvri sou yon solaryòm ki gen plan louvri chaje ak solèy, kreye yon koule fasil. Deyò solaryòm nan, yon teras bluestone sèvi kòm yon pwen de vi nan yon jaden angle ki ranfòse espas adisyonèl la pi lwen. Kwizin chef la ak sal chita a ki atache bay yon espas rasanble ki cho ak enfòmèl.

Nan tèt la, suite prensipal la ofri yon retrè trankil ki gen anpil espas, konplè ak yon cheminé ak yon beny ataché. Ansyen porches pou dòmi yo te reimagined kòm yon sal jwèt ak katye pou envite, pandan ke lòt chanm domi yo, chak ak pwòp cheminé distenk yo, jwi vi jaden atravè gwo fenèt kaseman. Twazyèm etaj la ajoute plis fleksibilite avèk de gran chanm, yon beny klasik, ak yon estidyo atis ki chaje ak solèy ak atelye atache.

Sa a se yon bèl moso ra ki vrèman konbine pèdigrè achitekti, pwopòsyon grasye, ak charme ki dire.

Set back from the road in one of Bedford’s loveliest estate areas, down a tree-lined drive, sits 328 McLain Street. Designed and built in 1906 by the distinguished firm of Delano & Aldrich as the country retreat of Judge Learned Hand, this gracious Colonial residence is nestled on 16+ acres, with specimen trees, sweeping lawns, and perennial gardens that create a setting of rare serenity. The unmatched privacy and acreage within minutes of trains/schools/shops all just an hour from the city are perfect as a full-time or country house. Its timeless style makes it as appealing now as when it was first built.
The house offers all the hallmarks of Bedford country living: swimming pool and chic cabana, charming guest cottage (think Brooklyn meets Paris), greenhouse, caretaker’s cottage, detached garage, and a maintenance barn.
Inside, the airy sunlit living room and the ample dining room, both with fireplaces, have French doors that open to an open plan sun-filled solarium, creating an easy flow. Outside the sunroom, a bluestone terrace overlooks an English garden that frames the additional acreage beyond. The chef’s kitchen and adjoining sitting room provide a warm, informal gathering space.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spacious, tranquil retreat, complete with a fireplace and an ensuite bath. Former sleeping porches have been reimagined as a playroom and guest quarters, while additional bedrooms, each with their own distinctive fireplace, enjoy garden views through large casement windows. The third floor adds further versatility with two generous bedrooms, a classic bath, and a sun-filled skylit artist’s studio with adjoining atelier.
This rare gem truly combines architectural pedigree, gracious proportions, and enduring charm. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
