Remarks

Known as White Hawk Estate, this remarkable Italianate residence at 300 High Street represents a rare convergence of architecture, history, craftsmanship, and setting. Commissioned by Kenneth Byrd White and Margaret Elizabeth Hawk, whose surnames inspired the estate’s name, the property was designed by the noted Boston architectural firm Bigelow and Wadsworth, with a landscape plan attributed to renowned landscape architect Arthur A. Shurcliff.

Set on more than 7.5 acres near Winchendon’s historic Old Center, the estate unfolds with a sense of permanence and proportion that is increasingly difficult to find. Mature grounds frame an architecturally distinguished home created for gracious everyday living as well as memorable gatherings.

Inside, richly detailed rooms reveal the craftsmanship of another era. The library, formal dining room, and expansive living room offer distinctive spaces for conversation and entertaining, while the kitchen is complemented by both kitchen and butler’s pantries. A light-filled conservatory, with its black-and-white tile floor, walls of windows, and French doors opening to the grounds, provides an extraordinary setting for music, conversation, or quiet enjoyment.

Above, the artist’s studio is illuminated by windows on three sides and offers views toward Mount Monadnock—an inspiring space equally suited to art, writing, music, or other creative pursuits. Additional rooms throughout the home provide flexibility for modern living while preserving the character and scale that define the estate.

Outside, Shurcliff’s influence can be experienced through the relationship between the architecture and surrounding landscape. Mature trees, open lawn, and substantial acreage create a setting that feels established, peaceful, and connected to its New England surroundings.

Located in North Central Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border, White Hawk Estate offers convenient access to the arts, recreation, cultural destinations, and natural beauty of both regions.
