ConteElevated Living in Wellesley Farms: The Sale of 6 Crestwood Drive

The Story: 6 Crestwood Drive is a stately white Colonial that epitomizes the "Wellesley Farms Lifestyle." Tucked away in a private, closed-loop neighborhood famous for its community spirit—including annual holiday parades and block parties—this home represents the perfect blend of traditional New England architecture and modern interior refinement.

We represented the buyers in this $2,002,000 transaction (closed June 2024). The residence spans 2,510 square feet and features a beautifully renovated marble kitchen, formal living spaces with custom millwork, and a sun-drenched enclosed porch. The property sits on a lush 0.35-acre level lot, offering a rare sense of tranquility while remaining just steps from the commuter rail and local amenities.

The Strategy:

• Highlighting the "Farms" Premium: We positioned this home as a gateway into one of Wellesley's most exclusive social pockets, where the value lies as much in the neighborhood loop as it does in the home’s finishes.

• Capitalizing on Renovations: By emphasizing the high-end marble kitchen and the spa-like stone bathrooms, we demonstrated that this 1950s Colonial had been successfully "future-proofed" for a modern buyer.

• Data-Backed Valuation: Using our Wellesley Real Estate Dashboard, we provided our clients with real-time data showing the property’s value trajectory—helping them feel confident in a purchase price that was nearly double the property's 2014 sale price.

• The "Indoor-Outdoor" Lifestyle: We specifically marketed the entertainment-sized deck and professional landscaping as an extension of the living space, a key driver for families moving from more urban settings.

The Outcome: Securing 6 Crestwood Drive for our clients at $2,002,000 was a major win. This sale underscores our team’s ability to navigate the high-demand Wellesley Farms market, ensuring our clients win in competitive situations for properties that rarely become available.
