If you, too, are celebrating the official return of the NBA season this weekend, we’ll note that 121 Livingston Road in Wellesley boasts an indoor basketball court.
For everyone else, the home offers up a host of other amenities, a graceful interior, and enchanting outdoor space that culminates on the banks of the Charles.
Set on nearly two acres in the prestigious Dana Hall neighborhood, the Colonial estate sprawls across 10,000 square feet of living space, with six bedrooms, seven full baths, and three partial baths, providing ample room for everyday living, entertaining, working, and hobbies.
For a literal grand entrance, the extensively paneled foyer is framed by formal living and dining rooms, perfect for welcoming guests with panache. The heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen with an oversized island and top-tier appliances, offers panoramic views of the lush landscape. Adjacent to the kitchen is an inviting family room with custom built-ins, a cozy fireplace, and French doors that lead to a chic screened-in porch, ideal for relaxing while overlooking the manicured grounds.
The primary suite is an end-of-the-day oasis, featuring double walk-in closets, a marble bath, a private balcony, and a quiet office. Downstairs, the lower level offers an indoor basketball court, gym, and a huge custom bar that opens to a patio with bluestone pavers and a stone fireplace, perfect for entertaining. The wine cellar is an added bonus for connoisseurs.
The property also includes a private dock on the Charles River, ideal for launching a kayak or a fishing lure.
On the market for $7,995,000, the sale of the home is represented by The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative with Coldwell Banker Global Luxury.
