Home Showcase: A tasteful Tudor in Wellesley

New England architecture saw a wave of Tudor Revival homes built in the 1920s and 1930s — combining the half-timbering and steeply pitched roofs of the Tudor style with red brick or stone facades.

These homes are as utterly charming as ever, with a storybook flair that feels timeless. Tucked into the desirable enclave of Wellesley Farms, 91 Hundreds Road is a magical example of the style, peeking out behind tall, mature trees at the end of a long driveway. A heavenly 1.17 acres of lawns and gardens can be yours just in time for spring blooms.

Tastefully reimagined by renowned local architect Patrick Ahearn, the home’s focus on craftsmanship is astonishing. The millwork, paneling, moulding, and built-ins allow the home’s traditional elegance to shine without overwhelming. An abundance of paned windows throughout ensure that the home is bright and not stuffy. It’s a home for sinking into a couch with a book by the fireplace, executing a meal for two or 20 in the oversized kitchen and banquet-sized dining room, or whiling away an afternoon in the glass-wrapped sunroom.

With just under 4,200 square feet (including a finished lower level), four bedrooms, five full baths and one half-bath, there is plenty of flexible space to spread out and make your own. In the warmer months, an elegant stone patio and lush flat yard beckon.

Open house hours are Sunday, April 7, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

On the market for $4,395,000, the sale of the home is represented by The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative with Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-852-7018.
