About 23 Paine Avenue
October Hill, the original estate on Paine Avenue in historic Prides Crossing reflects the quiet grace and coastal character that define Boston’s Gold Coast. This magnificent 2.6 acre private property features original Olmsted-designed gardens, southern exposure, and breathtaking views of Baker’s and Misery Islands and Salem Sound, plus deeded private beach access and a current mooring off the beach. Cherished and meticulously maintained by the same owners for more than 35 years, the home has benefited from several significant updates in the past 2 years including new windows, upgraded electrical systems, updated Primary suite and bath with custom walk-in closet, refinished floors, and fresh exterior and interior paint. Inside, timeless craftsmanship shines through original custom woodwork, hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, fireplaces, and an expansive eat-in kitchen. Ideal setting for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. A home gym, outdoor shower, hot tub and game room bring a touch of resort-style ease to daily life.
