About This Home
Welcome to College Heights. This classic home offers an unbeatable in-town lifestyle, just blocks from Wellesley's shops, restaurants, and commuter rail-your chance to enjoy effortless access to everything, all from a charming, established neighborhood. You are greeted by a covered portico, and inside tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and an easy, open flow set the tone throughout. The updated kitchen impresses with a substantial island, quartz countertops, and generous cooking space, while the sun-filled breakfast area just beyond makes for a bright, welcoming spot to gather. A living room next to the kitchen offers a relaxed retreat for everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a versatile office nook-ideal for remote work or study. A renovated mudroom leads outside to a private yard framed by mature plantings, creating a peaceful outdoor escape. An excellent opportunity to start your next chapter.
