About this home

Thoughtfully renovated and expanded in 2022, this stunning home blends classic charm with modern open living. Every detail has been updated with care. The large eat-in kitchen, anchored by an oversized island and featuring a generous pantry, flows seamlessly into the main living space — perfect for everyday living and entertaining.Flexible layout offers space for two home offices. The expansive primary suite features two generous closets and a spa-like en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath, while a third bedroom enjoys its own en-suite. Convenient laundry completes the upper level. The finished basement delivers it all — a home gym, entertainment area, kids' play space, and dedicated storage. A large one-car garage adds everyday ease. All of this in Wellesley's most walkable neighborhood — steps to Sprague Elementary, Wellesley Middle and High Schools, the commuter rail, and the charming shops of Linden Street, Wellesley Square, and Wellesley Hills.
