Listing broker remarks

Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, 55 Glezen Lane is the kind of property that can become part of a family’s story for generations. Set on 3.5 picturesque acres, this distinctive Wayland home offers something increasingly rare: the space and flexibility to bring the people you love closer while still giving everyone a place of their own. Spanning more than 5,800 square feet, the residence features 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 2 kitchens, and 2 laundry areas. A thoughtfully designed, approximately 2,000-square-foot single-level addition with a legally permitted accessory dwelling unit and private entrance creates an exceptional setting for aging parents, extended family, caregivers, or guests, allowing for both connection and independence under one roof. Outside, established gardens, fruit and berry plantings, and sweeping lawns invite a slower rhythm of life: gathering around the table, tending the garden, playing on the lawn, or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of the surrounding land. A 2.5-car attached garage and separate 3-car detached garage offer remarkable flexibility for vehicles, hobbies, collections, or workshop space, while an additional 2,800+ square feet of unfinished lower-level space provides exciting possibilities for recreation, fitness, a home theater, workshop, or future expansion. Rich with history, surrounded by nature, and designed to evolve with the people who call it home, 55 Glezen Lane offers more than space. It offers the opportunity to create a home where generations can gather, live, and make memories together for years to come.— Engel & Volkers Wellesley
