About this home
Exceptional new construction in one of Wellesley’s most beloved neighborhoods, set on an oversized .43-acre lot abutting the newly built Hardy Elementary School. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, this beautifully crafted five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence blends timeless architectural character with sophisticated finishes and a light-filled, highly functional floor plan. The main level unfolds through generously proportioned living spaces designed to transition effortlessly from everyday life to entertaining. At the heart of the home, the open-concept kitchen and family room create a warm and inviting gathering place, with an easy connection to the outdoors. A distinctive three-season porch with a wood-burning fireplace offers an exceptional extension of the living space—perfect for relaxed evenings, intimate gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting throughout much of the year. Upstairs, four beautifully appointed bedrooms are complemented by luxurious baths, a dedicated laundry room, and thoughtful details that reflect the home’s exceptional craftsmanship. The walk-out lower level adds remarkable versatility, featuring an expansive recreation space, a private fifth bedroom and full bath, storage, and direct access to the two-car garage. With its generous lot, refined interiors, flexible living spaces, and coveted location, this distinctive new residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Wellesley living—moments from top-rated schools, vibrant shops and restaurants, and convenient commuting routes.
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.
