We’ve compared homes to something ripped out of a fairytale, story book, and dream, but for the brick Colonial at 46 Lincoln Road in Wellesley, we’re going with a golden retriever. Why? It’s an instant classic: handsome, family-friendly, and made to love on.

Tucked into the Wellesley Country Club neighborhood, the 1931 jewel has curb appeal for days. Imagine a pair of mature trees flanking a long, red-brick path that culminates in a charming red door, paned and shuttered windows all perfectly symmetrical, and dormers jutting from the roof. It’s positively dreamy for buyers seeking that classic Wellesley look, plus a traditional interior with four bedrooms and more than 3,500 square feet.

The home’s front-to-back living room includes a huge fireplace to lounge in front of, and extensive built-ins and moulding. That same warmth extends to the dining room, accessed by French doors. A delightful country kitchen includes tons of cabinetry, high-end range, and a walk-in pantry, and opens to a dining nook and relaxed family room.

Bedrooms on the second floor, plus an au-pair suite (or rec room, your choice!) on the lower level means there’s no jostling for space. And, between a spacious deck, sunroom, and flat yard, you can enjoy the grounds year-round.

On the market for $2,895,000, the sale of the home is listed by The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative with Coldwell Banker Realty – Wellesley.
