Villa Correbianca

3 8 A T L A N T I C A V E N U E ~ C O H A S S E T ~ M A


A bove a magnificent terraced garden, on top of the rocks of Cohasset, sits Torrebianca, a rare and iconic Italian villa, built in 1903 by the prominent Boston architect George F. Newton. At 1.7 acres, this six-level masterpiece estate features a landmark presence on Atlantic Avenue and exclusive deeded beach rights to Sandy Cove. Its ancient landscaped walls, Wisteria-covered pergolas and the long manicured burning bush hedge all preserve the privacy of the home.

The 12-foot-high, ten-windowed tower observation room and lookout terrace offer stunning panoramic ocean views of Minot’s Light and the rare swans at Treat’s Pond. Exquisitely restored inside and out with an extraordinary attention to detail, Torrebianca has been brought to a new level of elegance, remaining warm, comfortable, and inviting.

Step through the forecourt garden into the main entrance foyer and admire the historic, museum-quality Pietro Caproni bas-reliefs under its ancient vaulted ceiling.

Stunning Italian ornamental railings guide you to upper levels on floors of Brazilian walnut, hemlock, and birch. Antique gilded moldings and paneling surround you with a pleasant warmth while Juliet balconies, French doors, and wide terraces enrich the living experience. Every subtle detail has been thoughtfully crafted, from faux painted walls and Enrico Cassina hardware, to a 7-zone heating and cooling system throughout.

Substantial improvements include an 850 square foot Master Suite with stunning views of garden sunrises and ocean sunsets. The terraced gardens, forecourt colonnade, and pergolas feature classical statues and mosaics, stone walks and small pools, and a hidden garden poem. A charming, detached carriage house garage for two cars sits behind a bricked driveway that holds a dozen guest vehicles. Torrebianca is a classic landmark estate on striking grounds on beautiful Atlantic Avenue in Cohasset.

Cohasset M A S S A C H U S E T T S

Town of

When Captain John Smith discovered “Quonahasset” in 1614, he described it as a “paradise of all these parts.” It has remained so for more than three centuries. As a classic unspoiled New England village, Cohasset has been chosen as the setting for several movies and commercials.

Shipbuilding and mackerel fishing expanded in the early 1880s. During the 1870s, Cohasset’s maritime industry was on the decline but its scenic beauty and cool ocean breezes were discovered by actors and wealthy Bostonians who began summering here and building large estates. Yachts replaced fishing schooners in the harbor. In the early years of the 20th century, Cohasset benefited from forward thinking individuals who formed associations to acquire large tracts of land for public recreation and conservation. The 1930s and 1940s saw the large summer estates being transformed to year round residences. By the 1950’s, Cohasset had become increasingly subur-ban with many residents commuting to Boston. The beautiful Town of Cohasset covers a nine-square-mile area distinguished by its well-maintained colonial homes and its wild ocean vistas of spectacular beauty. The town is located just 20 miles south of Boston and is pre-dominately residential in character with a population of around 7,600. Route 3A bisects the town and provides access to a multitude of small and large businesses, boutiques and specialty shops. Cohasset Village encompasses a quaint, yet spacious, town common with a small duck pond, stores, boutiques and shops. Surrounding this lovely common are the famed colonial First Parish Meeting House and St. Stephen’s Church with its 56 bell carillon that has offered Sunday concerts since 1824. Cohasset also boasts the renowned South Shore Music Circus and three historical muse-ums (Caleb Lothrop House, Captain John Wilson House, and Maritime Museum). Many of Cohasset’s residents make the daily commute to work (into Boston and beyond) by train, bus, car or commuter boat. The MBTA’s commuter rail Greenbush Line has a Cohasset station off Route 3A.
