About this home
Thoughtfully designed with an emphasis on natural light, harmonious spaces, and effortless flow, this young custom-built home located in convenient College Heights neighborhood offers four bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, with high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout. A welcoming foyer opens to a gracious living room and wainscotted dining room, while the spacious eat-in kitchen with island flows into an inviting family room with fireplace and direct access to the bluestone patio and backyard. A home office with built-ins and a half bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath, along with three additional bedrooms, one with en-suite bath and two with access to a shared ensuite bath. A separate laundry room completes the second floor. The finished lower level with full bath offers flexible space for recreation, exercise, or relaxation, while the expansive third floor provides exciting potential for future expansion. Sip coffee from the front porch, or relax in the private backyard, just moments from Wellesley schools, shops, and commuter rail. Inspired by the principles of Feng Shui, the home beautifully balances comfort and style.
Woodlands, located between Wellesley Square and the Charles River, is a residential and wooded Wellesley neighborhood with curving lanes and stone-walled edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wellesley Farms commuter rail stop and the small cluster of streets nearby, where morning foot traffic and passing trains set the tempo. Housing leans toward classic New England colonials and mid-century splits tucked behind mature trees. Trails and playing fields thread through the landscape at Morses Pond and Centennial Park. Cultural gravity comes from the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, the Wellesley Free Library, and the Wellesley Theatre Project.
