I keep returning to the word vessel when describing 75 Canton Avenue. A vessel carries us forward, but it also holds what matters most. This home has done just that — holding family, friends, art, books, and countless memories, while also moving life along with ease and grace.

Though its presence is undeniably stately, life here has always been full of warmth. Children (and now grandchildren) have raced tricycles down the halls while the family’s loyal black lab has ruled the grounds with tennis balls at the ready. This is a house that has been lived in, loved, and enjoyed.

The location, on the most admired stretch of Milton Hill, is exceptional. Tall windows hint at the light-filled rooms inside, where high ceilings, crown moldings, ceiling medallions, arched details, and substantial baseboards create a timeless backdrop.

The renovated kitchen — with butler’s pantry, La Cornue range, and marble counters — flows into the family room, the heart of daily life. French doors wrap around to a covered porch, perfect for long conversations with the people who matter most. Upstairs, the owner’s suite offers generous space and a spa-like bath with radiant heat and steam shower while every bedroom feels equally special. A third-floor great room adapts easily to your needs, whether as a bedroom, office, or playroom.

The property continues to evolve, with a newly built Accessory Dwelling Unit, four garage bays, and a welcoming guest parking court. Outdoors, a heated pool and pergola provide a stunning centerpiece with a resident swan keeping watch over the waters.

Like any true vessel, this home is both shelter and passage. It carries forward traditions, memories, and gatherings while offering room to create the next chapter. At 75 Canton Avenue, you are not just buying a house — you are stepping into a vessel built to hold a life well lived.
