Built in the 1960s, this midcentury home in Wellesley suffered through various interior alterations and additions that obscured its lines and cramped its spaces….so we cleaned it all up!
We’ve preserved key midcentury details - like dropped beams, original fireplace, and sloped ceilings - while bringing the house into the 2020’s with a fully custom kitchen, updated bathrooms, reconfigured master suite, upgraded insulation, and new fixtures and tile throughout. We removed a partial wall and opened up the sunroom to the house and to the exterior, with better windows and doors, helping create a wide open, bright, modern space for living and entertaining.
Stay tuned…professional photos coming!
