A rare riverfront estate in Dana Hall
Listed by Ying Coyle of Team Coyle | Compass
Perched along a coveted stretch of the Charles River, 121 Livingston Road offers a rare opportunity to own a true riverfront estate in Wellesley’s highly regarded Dana Hall neighborhood. Designed by McDougal Architects and masterfully built by DeBenedictis Builders in 2006–2007, this custom-built Colonial home is naturally situated between protected conservation land—the Heyl Sanctuary, Susan Lee Memorial Sanctuary, and Guernsey Path—and the Charles River to the rear. A private dock provides access to the river for kayaking, paddleboarding, or peaceful afternoons along the riverbank.
Inside, a grand foyer sets the tone, opening to formal living and dining rooms designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The spacious, timeless kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with premium finishes, a full-size pantry, and a private breakfast nook that flows seamlessly into an expansive fireside family room and adjoining three-season porch. Upstairs, the private primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring a sitting room, generous closet space, and a spa-like bath, complemented by five additional bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath. The walk-out lower level adds a remarkable layer of lifestyle appeal, offering a full bar, wine cellar, media space, and an indoor basketball court—an amenity rarely found in riverfront homes of this caliber. Outdoors, the property is further enhanced by a three-car garage and a built-in hot tub, all just minutes from Wellesley’s top-ranked schools, Wellesley Square, and convenient commuter routes to Boston.
