Wellesley Home of the Week: 18 Lathrop Road
01.01.70
No. 18 Lathrop Road, a home so brand new that the final tax bill has yet to be prepared, is one of the larger homes on this winding hill of well-kept estates in Wellesley’s Dana Hall neighborhood. A well-proportioned, gray clapboard colonial, it will be an easy space to move into, furnish, and make into your own happy home. More than an acre of private backyard space expands off into the hills, giving the feel of the Berkshires and overlooking the horse pastures of Dana Hall School.
For $3,300,000, the buyers of this residence will get much more living and yard space than meets the eye. Well over 6,000 square feet are eminently livable and include a fully furnished basement with a game/TV room, an au pair suite (or home gym) and a giant, walk-out back patio looking west over an acre-plus of terraced backyard.
Joe Fleming, owner and broker at Wellesley’s JT Fleming & Co., calls the yard one of this home’s most unusual and finest features. One and one-third acres is an unusual amount for Wellesley, he noted. The yard is also spectacularly landscaped — starting with the 2,800-square-foot paver patio extending from the basement and moving down to two wide, grassy, terraced spaces, each defined by a fieldstone wall and steps. Beyond the kept grass is a wild, pasture-like area that’s still part of this home’s property; beyond that and a fence is Dana Hall School.
