A truly unique opportunity to live in the coveted Cliff Estates neighborhood, this distinctive contemporary residence offers an extraordinary combination of architecture, privacy, and setting. Surrounded by rare, exceptional privacy, the home is designed to bring the outdoors in, with dramatic cathedral beamed ceilings, oversized windows, and a stunning wall of floor-to-ceiling glass in the family room overlooking the patio and private grounds. The open-concept floor plan creates a wonderful sense of volume and light, while gorgeous original millwork adds warmth and character throughout. The home offers three bedrooms, two full baths, a two-car garage, and flexible living spaces ready to be reimagined for today’s lifestyle. While cosmetic updates are needed, several major systems have been recently replaced and the existing systems are in good working order, providing an excellent foundation for the next owner. For buyers seeking a special home in an exceptional neighborhood—or builders looking for an opportunity to create something truly their own—this is a rare chance to live in one of Wellesley’s most desirable settings while taking advantage of the home’s remarkable architecture, privacy, and potential.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,714 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 21,962 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
