Sharpe of Hammond Residential Real Estate named listing agent for the Westminster Estates

According to Kurt Meehan, manager of Hammond Residential Real Estate's Lexington and Winchester offices, Linda Sharpe has been named as the exclusive listing agent for the Westminster Estates, a new development opportunity located at 90 Bean Porridge Hill Rd. Situated on 45 acres, the Westminster Estates presents a unique opportunity for an experienced builder/developer. This large parcel of land has been fully-approved by the state and town for development as a 121 lot conforming subdivision. Development will occur in three phases, with the first phase priced at $1.75 million and consisting of 38 engineered lots ranging in size from approximately 15,000 - 20,000 s/f. The Westminster Estates will be a gated village of high-quality, single-family homes with access to golfing and dining amenities at the adjacent 300 acre Woods of Westminster golf course. The development is located minutes from the world-class skiing and year-round activities of Wachusett Mountain, as well as a host of other recreational and cultural attractions including the Mid-State Trail, Johnny Appleseed Trail, Leominster State Forest, and Crocker Pond. The Westminster Estates is easily accessible via Rte. 2, and is close to I-90, 95, 190, and 495, and the soon-to-be-completed MBTA commuter rail station in Wachusett. Sharpe said, "Plans and approval documents for the Westminster Estates are now available for review. This development is poised to become the leading resort community in the Wachusett Mountain region, which extends throughout Massachusetts and into Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island. This is a unique opportunity for a developer to invest in a suburban, recreation-based community that is also easily accessible to numerous metropolitan areas." A long-time area resident, Sharpe is regarded by her peers as the consummate real estate professional. Over the past 24 years, she has served a diverse population of buyer and seller clients who value her vast real estate experience, market knowledge, and strong negotiation skills. Linda has dedicated herself to providing unrivaled attention to detail and a strong work ethic to every transaction. Hammond Residential is headquartered in Chestnut Hill, and has three Boston locations and thirteen suburban branch offices. The company reports over one billion dollars in sales volume annually, and is well-known as the publisher of the region's finest magazines featuring local properties for sale. In 2012, Hammond ranked nationally as one of the top 100 real estate companies based on productivity per agent and overall sales volume. Hammond was also recognized in 2012 by The Boston Globe as a "top place to work" company. Hammond is an independently owned and operated franchise company within the Real Living Real Estate franchise network. The Lexington office is also the exclusive Regents representative of the Luxury Real Estate network.
