Description

Welcome to 159 Dover Rd. Tucked away and beautifully sited on over 6 acres of impressive grounds, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity for both privacy and the Dana Hall neighborhood's cherished proximity to Wellesley Center and schools. Built in 2016, this 7 bedroom custom finished home is better than new with over 8900 sq ft of living space on 4 finished floors. Substantial floor plan which doesn't compromise on any wish list spaces - oversized kitchen, breakfast room, family room and mudroom, as well as generous and lovely formal rooms including first floor office. Luxurious master suite, plus 6 other ensuite bedrooms. Huge lower level with media room, play room, gym, and legal bedroom suite plus 3 car heated garage. The original property was substantially improved with the addition of the adjoining lot, currently a flat, huge, grassy, and fenced play yard and provides endless additional possibilities for whatever your heart desires - pool/guest house/sports barn!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "Great access to commuter rail from either Wellesley Square or Wellesley Hills. Easy 10-15 min walk. Better parking from Wellesley Square. Usually takes about 1/2 hour to Back Bay. Driving into Boston can take a little more time with traffic to cross town to Mass Pike."
