About this home
Welcome to 44 Whiting Road, an exceptional residence set within Wellesley’s coveted Country Club neighborhood. Built in 2009 by renowned builder McLaughlin/DeBenedictis, this distinguished five bedroom, six full bath center entrance Colonial offers three thoughtfully designed levels of refined living. An inviting grand foyer sets the tone for the stunning open-concept floor plan, anchored by a custom designed gourmet kitchen appointed with high-end appliances, marble countertops, and a generous center island. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a sunlit breakfast room with expansive picture windows and a gracious family room, where a stone-front gas fireplace provides a warm focal point and frames views of the bluestone terrace and beautifully landscaped grounds. A handsome wood-paneled office, elegant formal living room, formal dining room and well-appointed butler’s pantry further enhance the main level.The second floor features four en-suite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with marble bath and a private sitting room. The third floor offers an additional bedroom, full bath, and cedar closet, providing exceptional flexibility for guests, a bonus room, or private retreat. The lower level is equally impressive, with a spacious recreation room, exercise room, full bath with steam shower, and abundant storage. Outside, the private grounds and bluestone terrace create an inviting setting for both quiet relaxation and sophisticated entertaining. Ideally situated near the Wellesley Country Club and golf, with convenient access to the town’s renowned shops and restaurants. A truly not-to-be-missed opportunity!

Babson Park, located between Wellesley Square and Newton Highlands, is a residential and campus-oriented Wellesley neighborhood with wooded hillsides and a collegiate greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Babson College campus core near the Horn Library and Trim Dining Hall, where brick academic buildings, playing fields, and pedestrian paths set the daily rhythm. Sorenson Center for the Arts and the Weissman Foundry frame a cultural throughline that feels distinctly local. Streets around College Drive and Forest Street mix mid-century colonials with newer townhomes, often set back behind mature trees. Sidewalk walks link to small ponds and conservation edges, giving the area a quiet, outdoorsy cadence. Commuter patterns orbit the nearby Riverside MBTA station and Route 9 corridors without turning the neighborhood into a commercial strip.
