Big on WoW in Wellesley
As much as we spend as children dreaming about living in a fairytale castle, there’s certainly a dearth of them by the time we’re in the market for real estate.
Thankfully, the downright magical 77 Woodcliff Road in Wellesley is here — a dreamy 1938 Tudor-influenced residence. Hugged by a canopy of mature trees, the property sits on an impossible-to-come-by-in-Wellesley 1.25 acres, landscaped just-so with an opportunity to add a guest house, pool, or both.
Traditional good looks and just the right amount of vintage glamor lend the home a distinctive sophistication. It’s all in the details: arched entryways, built-ins, window nooks, and elegant moulding. At the same time, having enjoyed several renovations, the home adds modern touches that don’t feel out of place, namely bright picture windows and luxe finishes in the gourmet kitchen.
Families looking for inviting spaces to spend time together will love the window-wrapped breakfast room off the kitchen and the majestic family room with its tall, vaulted ceiling and cozy fireplace. There are five generous bedrooms, including a primary suite with a fireplace, glass doors to a balcony, and spalike bath, but the home’s more than 6,300 square feet offers some eye-popping extras.
Special rooms in this special home include a mahogany library with a fireplace and coffered ceiling, ideal for a home office, and oneof-a-kind stone wine cellar with surround sound and dining area to wow guests.
