2003 Colonial with over 5000 square feet of living on 3 levels. A glass enclosed portico welcomes you into this stunning home. Kitchen has oak floors, cream and brown granite counters, white cabinets, 5 burner gas burner with Faber hood, large...
island with sink and dishwasher, and breakfast area with access to side bluestone patio. Large 28 x 16 family room has columns defining its entrance, a slider accessing the patio, coffered ceiling, and handsome built-in cabinets flanking the wood burning fireplace. The living room also has a fireplace, along with a picture window. The 2nd floor has four bedrooms, including the master and another bedroom, both with their own full bath. The master also has French doors to a small wooden deck overlooking the side yard. The laundry room is interesting in that it has a large decorative oval spoke window, along with another rectangular window. The 3rd floor is fully finished and has a skylight situated over the stairway. There are 3 separate rooms, each with at least one window and a closet. They potentially turn this into a 7 bedroom home, or could be used as an office, gym, media room, etc. The largest of these rooms has its own skylight and has used the centrally located chimney to frame out a centrally located closet. The unfinished basement has high ceilings and is dry. Systems include a Burnham gas furnace, a 2013 75 gallon hot water tank, 200 amps of electric, and central A/C. 3 car garage is attached and located behind the home. Dinsmore is one of the few unpaved roads in Wellesley. It makes for a very private and infrequently traveled way.
