Home of the Week: 8 Glen Brook Rd.

Nothing is forced with this beautiful, spacious Wellesley colonial. Every step taken within its generous 7,000 square feet of living space displays elegant and gracious rooms and spaces where comfort and style were the principal precedence in its original construction and subsequent decorating. It also boasts an incredibly flexible floor plan with 13 rooms and three finished levels to persistently accommodate the evolving needs of a growing family.

There are fireplaces in three common rooms on the first floor casting an inviting ambiance for residents and guests. French doors open into a graceful, oversized living room that includes a music vignette while the banquet-sized dining area will accommodate years of large family gatherings and holidays. The family room fireplace is flanked by a pair of built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and currently serves up casual dining which works extremely well within the blueprint with its neighboring kitchen. The gourmet kitchen has been fully equipped with premium ingredients, including a Viking stove, sub-zero refrigerator, double ovens, granite surfaces and an oversized center island for meals on the go. A grand library offers a private space as a home office or relaxed reading area.

The second level hosts luxurious lodging for the entire family with a fireplaced master suite, three bedrooms, full baths and a laundry area. The third story stretches living options with a bedroom and full bath that would make an ideal au-pair, guest or teenager suite and also includes an exercise room and playroom. The lower level furnishes recreational options with a home theater and wine cellar.

Exceptional appointments were applied throughout this magnificent property, from personal conveniences to its foundation and utilities. Details such as crown molding and mahogany in-laid floors are featured throughout as well as ten foot ceilings on the first floor and nine foot on the second level. It also delivers a three-car garage, seven-zone heating and air conditioning systems, central vacuum, a security system, sprinkler system and professional landscaping.

This property makes a striking statement curbside with its distinguished exterior architecture, elongated driveway and manicured landscape on its slight elevation, which provides the perfect introduction to its interior, which will not disappoint.
