Designer-Curated Luxury: The $3M Sale of 34 Garrison Road
Defining New Construction Standards in the Hardy School District
The Story: 34 Garrison Road represents the pinnacle of modern suburban living. Completed in 2024, this 4,985-square-foot residence was meticulously designed by a local professional to offer a "fresh-traditional" aesthetic. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, including a breathtaking primary suite with a spa-like bath and an oversized walk-in closet.
As the listing agents for this $3,000,000 sale (closed February 2025), we highlighted the property's unique design elements, such as the open living and dining areas featuring custom double-sided shelving. Its proximity to the new Hardy Elementary School, the commuter rail, and Wellesley town center made it one of the most desirable new builds in the Fells neighborhood.
The Strategy:
Designer Showcase: We pivoted our marketing to focus on the "painstakingly curated" interiors, showing buyers that this wasn't just another spec house, but a home with a soul and custom-level finishes.
Hardy School Advantage: With the school's recent revitalization, we used our Wellesley Real Estate Dashboard to demonstrate how properties within walking distance of the new Hardy campus have seen a 15%+ increase in demand.
Inventory Context: Our Wellesley New Construction Tracker allowed us to position 34 Garrison as a high-value alternative to higher-priced builds in the Cliff Estates, offering similar square footage and modern amenities for a strategic price point.
Lower Level Versatility: We specifically marketed the finished walk-out lower level—which includes a gym, playroom, and 5th bedroom—as the essential "flex space" for modern work-from-home families.
The Outcome: The sale of 34 Garrison Road at its full $3M valuation underscores the high demand for thoughtfully designed new construction in Wellesley's established neighborhoods. By leveraging our trackers and neighborhood data, we successfully matched this designer gem with a buyer looking for both luxury and convenience.
