University of Washington Defensive Coordinator Stephen Belichick Lists Modern Farmhouse Near Boston for $4.2M

Stephen Belichick , who recently joined the football coaching staff at the University of Washington, is ready to sell his lovely modern mansion in Dover, MA .

About 15 miles southwest of Boston , the six-bedroom, 5.5-bath home offers over 8,200 square feet for $4,195,000. The elegant abode is flanked by two grassy lawns and plenty of mature plantings.

This custom-designed, modern farmhouse boasts rough-hewn beams overhead, black-lined windows, and a neutral color scheme. Fancy finishes and designer cabinets abound in the open-concept living area, kitchen, and dining space.

(Realtor.com)

Other highlights include an office, a butler’s pantry, and a mudroom with nifty built-in lockers for every team player—ahem, family member—to stash boots, sports gear, hats, and jackets.

A main bedroom upstairs has its own seating area, a luxe bath, and two custom closets. There’s even an au pair suite on the top level.

On the bottom floor, a home gym with a half-bath awaits, along with a playroom and an adorable pretend grocery store for hours of make-believe fun. The property has lots of grass for outdoor games and plenty of room to put in a pool. An alarm system, generator, and sprinklers complete the package.

Football is a way of life for the Belichick family. Stephen’s father, Bill Belichick , was the longtime coach of the New England Patriots , winning six Super Bowl rings in his 24 seasons with the franchise.

Stephen followed a similar path, working in a number of coaching positions for his dad over the past several years. Earlier this year, he joined the University of Washington Huskies squad as defensive coordinator. He played college lacrosse for four years at Rutgers but switched to the football program in 2011.

Pitt invited local high schoolers to experience the University’s disability resources firsthand

• University News

Subscribe to Pittwire Today

In collaboration with the Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, Pitt hosted its first-ever University for a Day on May 6. The half-day event showcased the University’s support services for disabled students to current Allegheny County high schoolers, including Kylie McGee.

The 16-year-old sophomore attends A.W. Beattie Career Center in the Northgate School District. For McGee, University for a Day was an opportunity to get a firsthand look at Pitt. She’s enrolled in her school’s health and nursing sciences program and views attending Pitt as a way to level up her skills.

“The nursing major is a great option,” she said, adding, “I’ve always wanted a way to help people.”

The program — led by Disability Resouces and Services in the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion — included a campus tour, an information session featuring a student alum and an admissions presentation.

University for a Day was developed to dispel potential students’ apprehension about pursuing higher education, said disability specialist Jenny Seighman .

“Students, particularly with disabilities, may feel overwhelmed about the prospect of attending a large university, so we’re offering resources in advance to say, ‘This is doable, and here are the supports we have in place,’” she said.
