Home of the Week: 245 Weston Rd.

This home is a great prospect for the homebuyer looking to plant roots in Wellesley. This beautiful 84 year-old Gambrel Colonial is a charming property with just enough space to comfortably start a family or for couples looking to downsize. It offers 1,400 square feet of living space, elevated ceilings and a level, quarter of an acre lot. Its location also holds appealing value situated near Wellesley shops and Morses Pond.

Inside, it provides seven spacious rooms throughout three levels of living space, each area decorated in neutral hues with glimpses of its rich heritage at every turn. The 12 x 19 square foot living room welcomes guests through a pair of French doors and provides a warm, relaxed setting with its exposed ceiling beams and brick fireplace surrounded by a wood mantel. The 11 x 12 square foot formal dining room boasts an enchanting custom-built china cabinet and the open 11 x 15 square foot eat-in kitchen is a casual and friendly space drenched in white and natural wood.

Three bedrooms are located on the second floor at 11 x 15, 11 x 12 and 13 x 9 square feet as well as a convenient 7 x 9 square foot home office. The third story, not included in the listed square footage, offers a great finished 14 x 26 square foot area that could be used as a child's playroom, teenager's bedroom or even a family media room.

Its available living space stretches outdoors with a delightful covered porch overlooking the fenced-in backyard.

There are very few homes within this price range on the current Wellesley real estate market and for its condition, looks and location, it will not remain available for very long. It has only been listed for 12 short days, but word of this rare opportunity will spread fast. Call today for a tour to become the next fortunate owner of this valuable property.
