Set within Wellesley’s coveted Dana Hall neighborhood, this exceptional Colonial has been transformed into a secluded retreat where architecture, craftsmanship, and livability come together beautifully. Renovated by Flavin Architects and Ken Vona Construction, the home showcases an exacting level of design and detail. A gracious two-story foyer introduces interiors filled with natural light, while quarter-sawn oak floors lead to the formal dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors open to a secluded patio. A bright solarium and inviting screened-in porch offer additional spaces to unwind and take in the surrounding landscape.At the heart of the home, the Bulthaup kitchen features premium appliances, a butler’s pantry, double ovens, a full-size wine cooler, and an expansive island that flows into the family room with vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, and a stone gas fireplace. Five bedrooms and six full baths include a serene primary suite with soaring ceilings, a spa-inspired bath, and a private balcony overlooking the grounds. The finished lower level provides a gym, playroom, wet bar, wine cellar, media room, full bath, and entertainment area. Meticulously landscaped grounds complete this distinctive residence, offering an extraordinary setting for both everyday living and entertaining.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
