This week’s Luxury Home of the Week pick encompasses an 18th-century main house, carriage house, and sports barn — all placed on 3.54 acres of land with a tennis court.

The estate at 131 Newton St. in Weston, also known as Juniper Farm, hit the market earlier this month for $5,795,000. Maggie Gold Seelig of MGS Group Real Estate LTD – Wellesley has the listing.

The 14-room main house, built circa 1790, includes five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms in 8,200 square feet of living space. Its charming details include exposed beams and no fewer than seven fireplaces.

The first floor includes a living room, study, formal dining room, family room, screen porch, and one bedroom with a bay window and attached bath. There’s also an open-concept kitchen and breakfast room that leads to a patio with a grill and an herb garden.
