We love Wellesley’s traditional, stately homes as much as anyone, but sometimes we’re in the mood for something different — a distinctive look that stands out from the pack of perfectly symmetrical center-entrance Colonials.

To wit, 460 Weston Road, an exquisite, wood-clad contemporary residence sited on close to half an acre, surrounded by a canopy of mature trees that stretch far behind the property for maximum privacy. This newly constructed home seamlessly integrates sleek design with the tranquility of its natural setting. And it’s the cool kid on the block. What more can you ask for?

Expect to be captivated by the home’s striking rich wood facade and expansive outdoor space, set against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape. Bridging a connection to nature, walls of windows flood the interior with natural light, offering panoramic views of the trees. It’s like having a cabin in the woods if the cabin was almost 6,000 square feet (and six bedrooms!) decked out in luxe finishes.

The open-concept floor plan favors minimalism and muted tones, providing the perfect canvas for modern living and letting the natural setting do the decorating. This is especially lovely in the living area where the double-height ceiling soars above and a wall of giant windows blurs the line between inside and out. Of course there’s a stylish gourmet kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances and a spacious island for culinary enthusiasts and entertaining guests, as well as a serious wet bar setup with beverage storage.

Venture outdoors to explore the property’s outdoor living moments, including a second-floor covered deck, balcony, and flat yard.

Open house hours are Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 10 and 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

On the market for $3,095,000, the sale of the property is represented by Sneha Patel with The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 781-316-4800.
