About this home
Spacious 5-Bedroom Ranch with Single Floor Living, Elevator, Wine Cellar, and Nearly Half an Acre. From the street, this home reads as a classic ranch. Step inside and the layout keeps unfolding, room after room, into a home with far more scale and function than the exterior suggests. An open layout with vaulted ceilings and large windows brings in natural light across the main living areas.Designed for true single-floor living, with all primary living space on one level. An elevator connecting the floors and a ramp from the garage provide step-free access throughout, making coming and going effortless.The lower level is built for how residents actually use the space day to day: a large playroom with a built-in performance stage, desk, plus toy and sports storage gives room to play, create, or put on a show. A separate workshop or craft room provides space for bigger projects. Direct access leads out to a big backyard with a lighted basketball court, full-size soccer net, and a custom swing set.Outside, an enclosed patio opens to raised vegetable garden beds on automated irrigation, along with mature apple and blueberry trees and several varieties of wine grapes. A wine cellar offers the perfect spot to store and enjoy your own vintage.Set on 0.46 acres with panoramic views, the property offers 3,850 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths across two levels that never feel disconnected.

Babson Park, located between Wellesley Square and Newton Highlands, is a residential and campus-oriented Wellesley neighborhood with wooded hillsides and a collegiate greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Babson College campus core near the Horn Library and Trim Dining Hall, where brick academic buildings, playing fields, and pedestrian paths set the daily rhythm. Sorenson Center for the Arts and the Weissman Foundry frame a cultural throughline that feels distinctly local. Streets around College Drive and Forest Street mix mid-century colonials with newer townhomes, often set back behind mature trees. Sidewalk walks link to small ponds and conservation edges, giving the area a quiet, outdoorsy cadence. Commuter patterns orbit the nearby Riverside MBTA station and Route 9 corridors without turning the neighborhood into a commercial strip.
