Listing broker remarks

Ideally located in the heart of Wellesley Center, 9–11 Hampden Street is a rare offering of gracious proportion, charm and timeless detail. With nearly 5,600 sq. ft. of living space across three sun-splashed finished floors, this stately residence offers 8 bedrooms and versatile living areas awaiting a discerning buyer’s vision. Sited on .37 acres, with a freshly painted interior, it is equally compelling as a grand single-family home or as an investment with its current 2-family configuration. Rich in history, the property was long associated with Helen Temple Cooke, pioneering educator and head of the Dana Hall School from 1899-1955. Currently owned for a second time by Dana Hall, the home blends historic character with an unrivaled in-town location - just a block to the train, shops, restaurants, and the beloved Brook Path. A unique opportunity to create a signature residence or phenomenal addition to your investment portfolio in one of Wellesley’s most coveted neighborhoods!— eXp Realty
