78 Elsinore Street

Designed by an award-winning architect and builder in close collaboration with the owner, this distinctive home is both visually striking and remarkably functional. Its unique design evolved as a series of interconnected pods centered on a dramatic cupola that anchors the home. Form meets function through a carefully considered combination of practical features, architectural interest and unexpected details. Constructed with attention from the ground up, the home incorporates a sophisticated mix of materials, energy-efficient features, smart-home capabilities, 2×6 interior walls and upgraded systems. The exterior is distinguished by standing-seam metal accent roofs, cedar shakes, Port Orford cedar vertical siding, lead-coated copper accents and Ipe decking across three open porches. Inside, cherry beams, built-ins and cabinetry establish a rich and consistent theme. Strategically positioned Marvin windows maximize natural light, frame the surrounding landscape and heighten the connection between indoors and out. The beautifully landscaped grounds create a private sanctuary, with lush plantings, natural privacy buffers, meandering bluestone patios, firepit and grilling areas, and a truly special water feature. The distinctive garage structure, complete with a potting shed, is both functional and playful and can easily transition into an outdoor entertainment space for larger gatherings. Every element of the design and construction was carefully considered, resulting in a one-of-a-kind home where architectural creativity, quality craftsmanship and everyday livability come together seamlessly. All of this is tucked into a popular yet quiet neighborhood just steps from Concord Center, with shops, eateries, the library, playgrounds and the commuter rail all close at hand.
