Built by John Gardner circa 1845, 92 Old River Place is a remarkable example of American Gothic Revival architecture in the heart of historic Precinct One. Nearly two centuries later, this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath residence has undergone a comprehensive, design-led restoration, preserving the architectural character that makes it irreplaceable while introducing an exceptional level of craftsmanship, optimized floor plan and modern luxury. Original hardwood floors, pointed arch motifs, intricate millwork and two original marble-faced fireplaces honor the home’s remarkable past, while coffered ceilings, custom medallions, chevron hardwood floors and statement lighting create a richly layered interior that feels collected rather than newly constructed. At the heart of the home, a completely redesigned chef’s kitchen pairs custom solid-maple cabinetry and Carrara marble with an oversized spindle-work island, 48” eight burner ILVE range, integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigeration and Kohler fixtures. A beautifully appointed butler’s pantry extends the kitchen with additional storage, microwave and prep space. The home’s 3.5 baths are individually designed with a sophisticated mix of natural stone, handcrafted tile, warm brass and sculptural vanities. The primary suite features a striking bath layered in limestone and rich crème brûlée tile with an exposed-rail brass shower system and fluted double vanity. Throughout, selections from Kohler, Symmons, Anthropologie and Regina Andrew bring a refined, residential quality to every detail. Outside, steep gables, distinctive Gothic detailing and a wraparound veranda create an unforgettable presence, complemented by private grounds in one of Dedham’s most coveted settings. Just moments from Dedham Square’s restaurants, cafés, theater, boutique shops and community destinations such as Legacy Place, with convenient access to Boston, the location offers the rare combination of historic character, neighborhood charm and access to entertainment. A Dedham landmark, reimagined.
