Waterfront Luxury: 219 Lake Shore Drive
A Custom-Built Colonial Retreat on Dudley Pond
The Story: Sold for $1,405,000 in March 2021, this 3,907-square-foot home was designed to maximize its stunning location. The property sits on a 0.54-acre level lot and features an open floor plan with sun-filled rooms, a master suite with a walk-in closet and soaking tub, and a finished basement. The outdoor space is equally impressive, with a back patio and professional landscaping that leads directly to the pond.
This home is situated in one of Wayland's most desirable areas, served by the top-rated Happy Hollow Elementary and Wayland High School (rated 10/10). According to our Wayland Inventory Tracker, waterfront properties on Dudley Pond represent a unique "lifestyle asset" that consistently holds high value due to limited availability.
The Strategy:
Waterfront Command: Leveraged the 100' of pond frontage as the primary value driver, appealing to buyers looking for year-round vacation-style living.
Modern Customization: Highlighted the 2012 construction, emphasizing that unlike many older lakefront cottages, this home requires no structural updates or system overhauls.
Open-Concept Living: Focused on the seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, which is ideal for the "active lifestyle" modern buyers prioritize.
Turnkey Waterfront: Positioned the property as a rare, move-in-ready opportunity in a market where waterfront homes often require significant renovation.
The Outcome: 219 Lake Shore Drive is a benchmark for luxury waterfront sales in Wayland. Its successful sale demonstrates the strong demand for modern construction on Dudley Pond and reinforces the area's reputation as a top-tier suburban retreat.
