Lakeside Luxury: The Sale of 51 Overbrook Drive
Strategic Positioning of a Pristine Colonial with Waterfront Access
The Story: Built in 2016 and maintained by a single owner, this 3,699 sq. ft. residence offers the perfect "move-in ready" experience. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the home features a chef's kitchen with a Wolf range, a spacious mudroom for suburban functionality, and a primary suite with dual walk-in closets.
The most unique selling point is the private fenced-in backyard featuring a stone patio, fire pit, and direct access to Reeds Pond. Our Wellesley Dashboards confirm that "Waterfront Access" in the 02482 zip code is a significant driver of price stability, even during market shifts.
The Strategy:
Showcasing Premium Finishes: We highlighted high-end assets like the Wolf range and custom kitchen backsplash to appeal to luxury buyers looking for immediate move-in potential.
Capitalizing on Flexibility: The finished lower level with a full bath was marketed as a high-value "bonus zone," perfect for an au pair suite or a secondary family room.
Leveraging School District Rankings: Located within 0.9 miles of John D. Hardy Elementary (rated 9/10), we positioned this home as a long-term academic and lifestyle investment.
Demonstrating Appreciation: The property’s tax assessment climbed 9.7% between 2024 and 2025, a trend we used to validate the home's value to prospective buyers and secure a strong closing price.
The Outcome: The sale of 51 Overbrook Dr underscores the high demand for modern construction and unique natural features in Wellesley. It remains a key benchmark for high-end Colonials in the Hardy school district.
