Contemporary New England Elegance: The Sale of 35 Halsey Avenue
Seamlessly Blending High-End Design with Suburban Luxury
The Story: 35 Halsey Avenue is a premier example of a custom-built contemporary Colonial that blends traditional charm with modern functionality. Spanning 4,920 square feet of living space, this eleven-room residence features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across multiple finished levels.
We represented the buyers in this $2,720,000 transaction (closed December 2024). The home is a showcase of quality craftsmanship, from the high-end chef’s kitchen with granite countertops to the luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath and custom walk-in closets. With a finished lower level providing dedicated space for exercise and entertaining, and a private first-floor office, this property perfectly met the needs of our clients looking for a "move-in ready" estate in a "Silent Zone" neighborhood.
The Strategy: * Buyer Representation Excellence: We identified this property as a top-tier match for our clients' specific needs, emphasizing its rare blend of high-end design and a quiet, level 0.23-acre lot.
Hyper-Local Market Insight: Using our Wellesley Real Estate Dashboard, we provided the buyers with a clear view of how 35 Halsey’s price-per-square-foot and neighborhood appreciation compared to the broader MetroWest area.
Inventory Context: Our Wellesley New Construction Tracker helped our clients understand the value proposition of a meticulous 2011 build versus current brand-new construction, identifying significant equity potential in this established luxury home.
Neighborhood Advocacy: We highlighted the property's prime location, offering direct access to the North Forty Trails, Morses Pond, and the Hardy School district, framing it as a complete lifestyle investment.
The Outcome: The successful acquisition of 35 Halsey Avenue for $2.72M demonstrates our ability to secure high-value properties for our clients in Wellesley’s most competitive neighborhoods. By combining personalized advocacy with data-driven market tracking, we ensured our buyers secured a home that serves as both a private sanctuary and a strategic long-term asset.
