With the eye-popping sales velocity in the Boston-area real estate market, it would be much easier for luxury builders to put up new construction quickly and forgo the details.
Nobody took the easy road when designing 22 Suffolk Road in Wellesley, resulting in a luxurious, turn-key estate replete with high-end touches that make it stand out from a crop of new builds.
To fit in with its coveted Cliff Estates location, the home is a smooth transition between your traditional Colonial and the modern farmhouse aesthetic sought after by current buyers.
The home didn’t just woo us with good looks, although the chevron hardwood in the foyers and sleek French doors are a nice touch. It’s the practical — and stylishly appointed — details that won us over.
There’s a tiled mudroom with cubbies and a bench so coming and going stays organized and doesn’t track snow and mud throughout the house. There’s an impeccably finished lower level with a wet bar so you don’t have to run upstairs to replenish snacks while watching a movie or game. And certainly not last nor least, there’s an epic kitchen that opens to both a family room with a fireplace and to the bluestone patio in the backyard. At its core, the home was built for everyday living.
In addition to a bedroom on the lower level and one on the first floor, there are five bedrooms on the second level, including a sumptuous primary bedroom with a vaulted, beamed ceiling. The latter boasts a pair of huge walk-in closets and a magazine-worthy en-suite bath with soaking tub and oversized glassed-in shower.
Open house hours are Saturday, June 17, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Sunday, June 18, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
On the market for $4,850,000, the sale of the property is represented by The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-852-7018.
