Listing broker remarks

Sun-splashed historic renovation of an in-town Colonial offering 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths. This stunning home blends timeless character with modern comfort, featuring high ceilings, spacious living areas, and a finished walkout basement ideal for a home office, gym, or entertaining. The chef’s kitchen includes a 72-inch fridge/freezer, a large island, a pantry, and opens to a patio with a fire pit. Additional highlights include a farmer’s porch, a generous mudroom, and an oversized detached 2-car garage with two floors of storage. Updated throughout with new wiring, energy-efficient heating and cooling, insulation, windows, and a tankless hot water system. The large yard offers ample space. Perfectly located just steps to Wellesley’s restaurants, schools, train, and downtown, in General Residence zoning allowing for future development potential of a legal second unit.— JT Fleming & Company
