The cute Colonial at 33 Upwey Road in Wellesley feels like stumbling onto a little secret.

Set on a street draped with tall trees, the 1993 home feels both timeless and refreshingly current. And from the moment you step inside, you sense how thoughtfully the home has been designed for real life — spaces that are just as practical for hectic mornings before school as they are for lounging around on a Sunday afternoon.

Through oversized windows, sunlight floods every room, softening formal spaces and adding a relaxed warmth to the home. At its core, 33 Upwey is just that: a sigh of relief at the end of the day.

The kitchen, recently renovated, shows off quartz countertops and stainless appliances, plus a large peninsula. It opens to a bright family room equipped with a gas fireplace anchors, making it an easy spot to settle in on chilly evenings. From here, head to a screened porch, where you can listen to the sounds of the neighborhood or watch the seasons change in the private backyard.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a roomy retreat, with a spa-like bath and walk-in closets that make everyday routines feel a touch more luxe. There’s a dedicated home office on the first floor — a quiet corner perfect for work or creative projects, as well as a finished lower level that’s ready to adapt to whatever life calls for, from playdates to workout sessions to movie marathons.

What truly makes this home special, though, is its connection to the community around it. Just a short stroll brings you to local schools, independent shops, neighborhood restaurants, and the train station, because convenience doesn’t have to come at the expense of charm.

On the market for $2,095,000, the sale of the home is represented by The Lara & Chelsea Collaborative with Coldwell Banker Realty — Wellesley.
