Home of the Week: 1 Clock Tower

This sophisticated colonial towering above Wellesley Hills has the perfect location to showcase its exceptional architecture. That exterior presentation, however, is only an introduction to what lies inside this 13 year-young magnificent estate. A columned foyer with a sweeping staircase greets guests and launches this elegant journey through 11 rooms granted with elevated ceilings, remarkable detailing, premier materials and constructive imagination.

The first floor contains five spacious rooms, beginning with a gas fireplaced 22 x 20 square foot living room drenched in shades of gold and white that shed a glow from the abundance of oversized windows. The 19 x 15 square foot dining area is a simple and tastefully decorated space for formal entertaining while the 21 x 14 square foot eat-in kitchen offers a warm, hospital setting with its neutral canvas and a lovely breakfast nook surrounded by windows for casual family gatherings. The 18 x 23 square foot family room offers another relaxed option with accents that include another fireplace and French doors that lead to the lovely deck while the 17 x 12 square foot office provides the ideal space for quiet and solitude.

The second level hosts a gracious 22 x 18 square foot master suite with his-and-hers walk-in closets and a full marble bath, another 14 x 15 square foot suite, two spacious bedrooms at 16 x 15 and 14 x 14 square feet, a convenient laundry center and a 14 x 8 square foot personal library. The sun-lit lower level perfectly transitions outdoor and indoor recreational activities with sliders from the 37 x 16 square foot game room to the outdoor patio.

Prospective homebuyers familiar with the town of Wellesley will likely see a familiar resemblance with this property's facade that was constructed to replicate the legendary Wellesley Hills clock tower. That impersonation shines through even brighter with its elevated grade and panoramic views and stunning sunsets in the background. This property is both stunning and whimsical while approaching but even more spectacular during occupancy.
