Luxury Home of the Week: A Wellesley Colonial-turned-contemporary for $5.9 million
Although it was built in 2011, this Colonial in Wellesley near Sabrina Lake has undergone a contemporary transformation.
The owner hired Kenneth Vona Construction and Boston-based Flavin Architects to turn the generic template into a custom space, according to the listing agent, Erin Baumgartner of Compass.
The 8,100-square-foot home at 55 Ridge Hill Farm Road sits on 0.92 of an acre and includes five bedrooms, six full baths, three half baths, and a three-car garage. It features high ceilings, quartersawn oak floors, a state-of-the-art security system, built-ins, a screen porch, and coffered and cathedral ceilings.
The eat-in kitchen offers sleek high-end, stainless-steel appliances, including double ovens. It also has an island, a breakfast bar, and a butler’s pantry with a wine fridge.
French doors open to a dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a slider to the stone patio.
The living room’s gas fireplace is surrounded by stones similar to those on the front of the home, creating a nice cohesiveness between outside and in.
The master suite balcony overlooks the landscaped grounds, while the master bath offers a limestone and mosaic tile oasis with radiant-heat flooring.
“It’s a really well-done house, but it’s also warm and welcoming at the same time,” she said. “It’s great for a family.”
Baumgartner listed the property for nearly $6,500,000 in May, but has since dropped the price to $5,900,000.
