Potter Pond

Lexington, Massachusetts

This hilly, pond-spotted 43-acre parcel of land was once the New England farm of the revolutionary hero Benjamin Wellington and then Powder Horn’s 3-par Golf course before the Potter family sold the parcel to Boyd/Smith in 1980 for $1.2 Million. With condominium developments still an unfamiliar site in the Lexington area, the building of Potter Pond met with many obstacles and restrictions but ultimately great success!

Upon the completion of the project, there were three distinct phases:

• Phase One: Developed in 1980, this phase unveiled 40 townhouses situated on the left side of the retention pond near the Walnut Street entrance (Even numbers 2-66 and odd numbers 37-65)
• Phase Two: Constructed in 1981 and 1982, this phase situated 18 homes to the right of the retention pond near the Walnut Street entrance (Odd numbers 1-35)
• Phase Three: This final phase, started in 1983 and completed in 1985 consisted of 42 homes (All the units numbered 67 and higher)

With colonial architects Royal Barry Wills Associates leading the design, Potter Pond’s units were built seamlessly into the landscape with wide-planked exteriors in the color of the terrain, small colonial-style windows, and high-pitched roofs with authentic brick chimneys. The homes were clustered across the uneven land with such architectural accuracy that you would imagine they looked like this when Benjamin Wellington walked the fields back in the late 1700’s.
