About this home

Gracious center-entrance colonial in prime Bates School neighborhood with elegant living and dining room, open-concept kitchen and family room with vaulted ceilings, all awash with natural light, and views of a level and uncommonly private backyard. Ample storage closets, mud-room, two powder rooms and two-car garage complete the 1st level. Upstairs find a light-filled master bed with walk-in closet, second closet and en-suite master bath. Three additional bedrooms with spacious closets, a second full family bath and an office round out the 2nd level. Bright, newly-renovated basement play room, laundry room, large storage room with cedar closet, additional storage closet and dedicated exercise room hit all the marks for a dream family basement. Move right into this turnkey home in the heart of Wellesley’s most charming “throwback” neighborhood with enduring annual traditions like the trick-or-treat parade, cookie exchange and horse-drawn carriage on luminary night. Come make memories!
