A Wellesley mansion with two offices. Call it remote work with style.
The mansion at 60 Abbott Road also features crown molding, wainscoting, and seven fireplaces.
Beamed ceilings, bay windows, and more elegant details fill the mansion that’s this week’s Luxury Home of the Week selection.
Built in 1902, 60 Abbott Road in Wellesley Hills spans 9,260 square feet with six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. The Madden David Real Estate Group of Coldwell Banker Realty – Wellesley has the $5,250,000 listing.
A covered stone porch leads inside to a grand foyer showing off herringbone hardwood floors, damask wallpaper, and a built-in bench nestled at the foot of a staircase. Wood crown molding and beamed ceilings are found throughout the Wellesley Colonial, including in the formal living room, complete with a fireplace. This space leads to a home office with a built-in desk and bookcases.
On the opposite side of the foyer, there’s a formal dining room with a bay window, fireplace, and wainscoting. A wallpapered butler’s pantry with glass-paned cabinets leads to the kitchen.
The cooking space includes navy cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a center island. It sits next to a breakfast room with lofty ceilings and a bay window that looks out onto the home’s back patio. Next to this is a family room with a fireplace flanked by built-in storage.
The sizable landing on the second floor includes an open office area with yet another bay window. There are four bedrooms, including the primary suite, on this level, and three of them are graced with their own fireplaces. The owner’s bedroom in the mansion features vaulted ceilings and two closets. Three more bathrooms, a home gym, and a laundry room round out the level.
Up on the third floor, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a sophisticated game room with a vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and built-in window seat. The lower level houses a media room, wine cellar, workshop, and abundant storage space.
The property, which sits on 0.92 of an acre, also includes a carriage house. This space would make an excellent in-law suite: It includes living and sleeping areas, a kitchen, and a full bathroom.
