ConteElevated Living in Wellesley Farms: The Sale of 6 Crestwood Drive
Navigating a $3.6M Transaction for a Timeless Wellesley Landmark
The Story: 29 Woodcliff Road is a magnificent 1933 Colonial that perfectly captures the "Old Wellesley" charm of the Cliff Estates. Spanning over 4,600 square feet on an expansive 1.13-acre level lot, this home is a masterclass in architectural detail, featuring intricate crown molding, wainscoting, and hand-selected hardwood floors.
We managed the buyer representation for this $3,632,000 sale (closed June 2024). The residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, including a primary suite with double closets and a spacious first-floor guest wing. Beyond the traditional living spaces, the home features a professionally soundproofed media studio in the lower level and a custom craft/study space on the second floor, making it a highly functional estate for a modern, creative family.
The Strategy:
Valuing the Rare Acreage: In Wellesley, a 1.13-acre level lot is an extreme rarity. We used our Wellesley New Construction Tracker to show how the "land value" alone in Cliff Estates supports this $3.6M acquisition, even compared to smaller brand-new builds.
Targeted Neighborhood Insights: Cliff Estates is known for its privacy and elite status. We leveraged our Real Estate Dashboards to demonstrate the long-term price stability of Woodcliff Road, which has consistently outperformed the broader 02481 zip code.
Highlighting Unique Amenities: The soundproofed media studio was a major differentiator. We marketed the home not just as a Colonial, but as a "modern creative hub," appealing to buyers who work in media or tech.
Seamless Buyer Advocacy: By guiding our clients through the complexities of a landmark property sale, we ensured they secured a piece of Wellesley history with built-in equity, as reflected in the rising Redfin Estimates for the area.
The Outcome: The sale of 29 Woodcliff Road for $3,632,000 solidifies our reputation as experts in the Cliff Estates luxury market. By merging historical appreciation data with modern lifestyle requirements, we successfully matched our clients with a legacy property that will serve their family for decades.
