About this home

Welcome to 159 Dover Rd. Tucked away and beautifully sited on over 6 acres of impressive grounds, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity for both privacy and the Dana Hall neighborhood’s cherished proximity to Wellesley Center and schools. Built in 2016, this 7 bedroom custom finished home is better than new with over 8900 sq ft of living space on 4 finished floors. Substantial floor plan which doesn't compromise on any wish list spaces - oversized kitchen, breakfast room, family room and mudroom, as well as generous and lovely formal rooms including first floor office. Luxurious master suite, plus 6 other ensuite bedrooms. Huge lower level with media room, play room, gym, and legal bedroom suite plus 3 car heated garage. The original property was substantially improved with the addition of the adjoining lot, currently a flat, huge, grassy, and fenced play yard and provides endless additional possibilities for whatever your heart desires - pool/guest house/sports barn!
