Home of the Week: 14 Peirce Rd.

This timeless Wellesley property proudly stands as one of the most coveted homes in the elegant Peirce Estate neighborhood. Prospective homebuyers may have driven through Wellesley streets to tour this beautiful colonial, but they will feel as if they have entered a European manor the minute they enter the driveway. That inspiration was cultivated with its initial construction in 1938 with its stunning architectural details, classic appointments and graceful proportions, but was gratefully maintained by its owners with beautiful enhancements and modern amenities that complement its traditional ambiance.

That distinctive character immediately greets guests with the grand 16 x 13 square foot two-story marble foyer with a magnificent bridal staircase. Formal entertaining is an effortless elegant affair with the 29 x 16 square foot fireplaced living room drenched with rich teal walls and the 16 x 16 square foot dining area with corresponding corner built-ins. Comfortable family living is granted equal attention with inviting rooms throughout three of its four finished levels. The main floor offers an 18 x 16 square foot family room with arched picture windows and a layered ceiling while the 24 x 14 square foot gourmet kitchen supplies all the ingredients to create and enjoy casual gatherings. The third story boasts a spacious 20 x 19 square foot game room and the basement features a 28 x 16 square foot fireplaced playroom. The first level also tenders a private 15 x 12 square foot fireplaced library with custom cabinetry.

The second floor hosts magnificent lodging for its residents and guests, beginning with the luxurious 21 x 16 square foot master suite with a deluxe full bath. Three additional bedrooms are also available on this floor at 16 x 15, 14 x 14 and 13 x 12 square feet and the third level boasts a 17 x 11 square foot suite with a full bath.

This home is a quintessential model of the successful blend of mature elegance with contemporary designs. Its fortunate new owners will not only enjoy its eclectic merger with a comfortable and elegant lifestyle but will be eager to share this unique opportunity with family and friends.
