SPONSORED POST: The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club is ready to welcome you on Saturday, May 5, 11am – 3pm into six drop-dead gorgeous Wellesley homes that are as beautiful and inspiring as spring itself. The houses range from a restored 1879 Victorian to a newer Colonial transformed by colorful and modern decor. They all represent the latest trends in design and architecture.
Interior Design: Liz Caan & Co.
Builder: Sleeping Dog Properties, Inc.
Drumroll, please…these are the homes that will appear on the tour:
● 14 Cushing Road
● 39 Pembroke Road — also enjoy the renovated basement
● 45 Ravine Road — in addition to the kitchen, check out the custom-built pool house
● 31 Woodchester Road
● 18 Woodcliff Road
● 49 Woodlawn Avenue — The home of lifestyle/DIY blogger Jackie Hempel
Each house will again feature gourmet bites from local caterers and pop-up boutiques for Mother’s Day gifts. The entire first floors will be open to tour-goers and design experts will be on hand to discuss the homes. Make sure you wear comfortable, slip-on walking shoes because they must be removed and replaced with booties that will be provided at each home. Here are other tips for event-goers.

About the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club
The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club is a group of women who work side by side to make a meaningful difference in our community. We create dynamic fundraising events that celebrate our community and tap into the generosity of those around us, including Wellesley Marketplace, Wellesley Kitchen and Home Tour, and the 5K Wonder Run and Kids Fun Run. With the money raised, we give scholarships to deserving high school students who need financial support to make college dreams possible and we fund programs that make a positive impact in the community. The work that we do helps address some of the biggest challenges facing our society: mental health, hunger, access to education, bullying, poverty and domestic violence.
