Previously fronting one of Wellesley’s busier streets, this home was reimagined to take advantage of an intimate neighborhood cul-de-sac road that sat along its underutilized rear boundary. After removal of an existing indoor pool, the new addition re-sited the front of the home along the cul-de-sac. The site was carefully planned and graded to allow for the new addition. The interior of the home incorporates a transitional hallway between the new addition and existing home, creating a unique feature that helps integrate the new addition with the existing home.
