Property Description

Come see what must be the most private 1/2 acre homestead in Wellesley. Perched atop one of the cliffs in the highly desirable Cliff Estates area, this gracious, one-of-a-kind home features quality construction and abundant built-ins. This home, built for the Gillette family in 1938, looks and feels like an 1830 ‘farmhouse’ with bookcases, window seats, and custom office/homework areas. You’ll love the attic conversion with its full-bath and cozy “box beds” tucked into the eaves--perfect for a nanny or guest suite. Impeccably well-maintained and in move-in condition. Cafes, bakeries, and nearby Wellesley Hills Station (.06 mile) gets you to Back Bay in just 32 minutes. Beautiful millwork throughout, wainscoting, Dutch doors, and the 8 fireplaces make this home unique. Enterprise-quality Cat 5 cable and high-speed internet throughout. Great flow for entertaining. This custom-built home is looking for a special buyer who appreciates quality and values privacy.
