About this home

Located in prestigious Wellesley Farms, this distinctive Royal Barry Wills Colonial has been expertly renovated to bring you the best of old and new.

A beautiful new kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and fireplaced eating area and opens to a grand, sunsplashed family room featuring a center skylight and french doors which lead to a handsome stone terrace overlooking the adjoining eleven acres of Carisbrooke reservation and walking trails. Rich in detail and a property of merit and distinction.
