Set high on one of Lincoln’s most scenic hills, 23 Bedford Road is a masterful blend of historic architecture and modern sustainability. Originally built in the 1860s as a Victorian mansion, the home was reimagined in 1950 by renowned architect Henry Hoover, a pioneer of New England modernism known for his Bauhaus-inspired focus on light, function, and connection to the landscape. Meticulously restored to LEED-certified standards, the residence preserves its architectural heritage while embracing contemporary design and cutting-edge green technologies.

Inside, the home’s material palette reflects both craftsmanship and environmental mindfulness. Expansive Loewen fir windows, radiant-heated stone and walnut floors, and a sculptural oak staircase set the tone for light-filled, flowing interiors. A chef’s kitchen combines custom sustainable cabinetry, Caesarstone and Silestone countertops, and a porcelain and recycled glass backsplash. Original marble fireplace surrounds by Mark De Guidice and artisan-built steel railings highlight the home’s attention to detail, while five bedrooms, spa-inspired baths, and versatile spaces—including a library, office, music room, recreation room, and wine cellar—balance luxury with livability.

The 6.25-acre estate unfolds as a seamless extension of the home, with sweeping lawns, heritage trees, and terraces designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. At its center stands the historic 1826 barn, preserved with original timber beams and reimagined as a striking architectural centerpiece. Nearby, a heated pool, pool house with sauna, and solar-powered systems create a private retreat that is both elegant and environmentally forward.
