Wonderful opportunity to live in a prized neighborhood close to Wellesley Square with its restaurants, shops, and commuter rail station and also close to Wellesley College and to the revered Brook Path. Architecture is a splendid example of World War I Colonial Revival with grand and gracious public spaces and comfortable private ones: all nicely and appropriately updated. Large, welcoming foyer with double-turned staircase and connecting rear stairs to kitchen; enclosed sleeping porch ("other" room,...Wonderful opportunity to live in a prized neighborhood close to Wellesley Square with its restaurants, shops, and commuter rail station and also close to Wellesley College and to the revered Brook Path. Architecture is a splendid example of World War I Colonial Revival with grand and gracious public spaces and comfortable private ones: all nicely and appropriately updated. Large, welcoming foyer with double-turned staircase and connecting rear stairs to kitchen; enclosed sleeping porch ("other" room, which is unheated though counted by assessor) connects master bedroom and second bedroom, but could support a further change to master study and/or bath; third floor bedroom and bath make a perfect retreat. Renovated kitchen (2012) and baths are integral and maintain the charm and character of the house. Laundry is on the first floor. Knob and tube wiring replaced 2018.
