Wellesley Park is peaceful & ornamental right in the heart of everything, yet feels insulated & miles away from the fast pace of the city. The home has been restored & updated (central air conditioning!) & expertly maintained over the years to provide a delicate balance between historical charm & modern amenities. From the decorative woodwork, to the inlaid hardwood floors & modern kitchen, this is an extraordinary find. A whimsical front porch leads into a classic foyer with intricate spindle wood work, formal living & dining room with high ceilings, a fireplace & an expanded kitchen with views of the large private patio. The 2nd level has 3 generous bedrooms plus an office, & the third floor offers 2 more bedrooms and a bonus room. Truly a special home!
