Amazing Location: 15 Tennyson Road
Navigating High-Velocity Bidding in Wellesley's 02481 District
The Story: Built in 1925, 15 Tennyson Rd is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Colonial spanning 3,278 square feet. Nestled on a level 0.33-acre lot, this home captures the historic charm of Wellesley while offering a modernized interior layout.
When we brought the buyer to Tennyson in March 2022, the interest was immediate. Our Wellesley real estate dashboard indicates that properties within walking distance (0.4 miles) of Schofield Elementary often see the highest "days-on-market" to "over-ask" ratio. In this instance, the final sale price of $2.25M was 21.7% higher than the listing price, a testament to the property's turn-key appeal and prime location.
The Strategy:
Highlighting the "Schofield Walkability": Being just 0.4 miles from a top-rated elementary school is a massive driver for value. We marketed the property as the ideal home for young families who prioritize community proximity.
Volume & Light: Despite its 1920s origin, the home features a spacious 3,278 sq. ft. footprint. We focused photography and walkthroughs on the fireplace-centered living spaces and the seamless flow of the 3-bath layout.
The Outcome: 15 Tennyson Rd remains a standout sale in our portfolio. It illustrates that for the right property in a premier Wellesley location, the market is willing to pay a significant premium for historical character and move-in readiness.
