About this home

Built in 1884 and one of only three remaining homes owned by the original Denton family, this 3-bedroom Victorian farmhouse is the perfect combination of rich architectural detail and a modern, open floorplan designed for today's living. A large wraparound porch and Silver Maple tree welcome you to what is known as The Butterfly House which, since its construction, has been home to only 5 families. Once inside you'll be charmed by a renovated chef's kitchen which opens to a well-proportioned family room; beautiful period built-ins surrounding a fireplaced living room; large dining area and first floor office overlooking a deep and level yard and garden shed. Steps from the Brook Path, town and train, this jewel of a home has been updated, meticulously cared for and ready for its next lucky owner. Your opportunity to own a piece of Wellesley history.
