About this home
New construction by an esteemed local builder, tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Hardy/Fells neighborhood, close to the new Hardy Elementary School, Wellesley Center, the commuter rail and town trails. Warm white oak floors run throughout, under ten-foot ceilings on the first floor and nine-foot ceilings upstairs and down. The kitchen is built for real cooking and easy gathering: a waterfall island, a pot filler, Bosch Benchmark column refrigerator and freezer, an induction range, a drawer microwave and a wine fridge, all open to the family room and its fireplace. A study, dining room, mudroom and powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs, the marble primary suite is a true retreat, with his-and-hers closets, a freestanding soaking tub and radiant heat underfoot. A second bedroom comes with its own bath, and bedrooms three and four share a hall bath with a double vanity, with laundry on the same floor. The finished lower level adds a family room, a gym, a fifth bedroom and a full bath. Heat pumps, 400-amp service and spray foam insulation keep every room comfortable, and Hardie siding with ice-and-water shield over the entire roof means easy upkeep. Nest thermostats, a video doorbell and keyless entry add smart-home ease, and the heated garage comes with a Level 2 EV charger. Out back, bluestone terraces and a stone seating area with built-in benches sit within lit, irrigated, professionally designed gardens, made for long summer evenings and cool fall nights.
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.
