About this home
Welcome to College Heights. This classic home offers an unbeatable in-town lifestyle, just blocks from Wellesley's shops, restaurants, and commuter rail—your chance to enjoy effortless access to everything, all from a charming, established neighborhood. You are greeted by a covered portico, and inside tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and an easy, open flow set the tone throughout. The updated kitchen impresses with a substantial island, quartz countertops, and generous cooking space, while the sun-filled breakfast area just beyond makes for a bright, welcoming spot to gather. A living room next to the kitchen offers a relaxed retreat for everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a versatile office nook—ideal for remote work or study. A renovated mudroom leads outside to a private yard framed by mature plantings, creating a peaceful outdoor escape. An excellent opportunity to start your next chapter.

Wellesley Square North, located between Wellesley College and the Charles River, is a commuter-friendly and walkable Wellesley neighborhood with a classic town-center streetscape and a rail-served main street. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Washington St and Central St crossroads, where cafés, independent boutiques, and sidewalk patios set a steady daytime rhythm. Wellesley Books, The Wellesley Theatre, and the Davis Museum at Wellesley College act as cultural anchors with a distinctly local point of view. Architecture leans toward early-20th-century homes and small-scale mixed-use buildings near the Square. Pocket parks and campus greens soften the commercial blocks. The MBTA Commuter Rail at Wellesley Square frames daily movement in and out of town.
