About this home

Yes, it’s ‘that’ house! Offered for the first time in over 45 years, this much admired 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Greek Revival built in 1848 sits on a picture-perfect corner lot close to town, train and schools. Instantly appealing with a hitching post and inviting front porch, this charming home is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and filled with rich and historic architectural detail. A central fireplace anchors the oversized living & dining room - perfect for gracious entertaining. The updated eat-in-kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite countertops opens to a cozy family room with access to a deck overlooking a large, level yard. A private study, large mud room, central air and underground sprinklers completes this package. This important Wellesley residence is the best of both worlds—urban convenience with a neighborhood setting.
