$5,714 (2017) "X-Ray Lenny'' and the "Cookiemama'' - two stalwarts of the New England Patriots organization - are spending their last Super Bowl Sunday in the single-family home they've shaped like dough on a cul-de-sac some 4 miles from Gillette Stadium.

Leonard K. Hensas Jr. is an X-ray technician who takes images of injured players, and Joanne, his wife, bakes 12 dozen cookies, a variety, and drops them off at the stadium every Wednesday.

Rob Gronkowski likes her sugar cookies, but Tom Brady doesn't partake, Joanne said. (No surprise there.) As if they were carefully crafting a recipe, the Hensases have pieced together a 3,200-square-foot house, adding rooms here and there and a lot of pretty frosted-glass lighting. The house is reached by walking past a white picket fence and onto the small farmer's porch that leads to the main entry - a stained wood double door with oval windows, a design echoed in the flanking windows.

Inside, a hallway on the left with closets and a dark ceramic-tile floor leads to the dining room and a 16-by-30-foot kitchen with a breakfast area. The dining room, accessed via two sets of French doors, offers a chandelier with a trio of frosted-glass shades and hardwood flooring.

The U-shaped kitchen has maple cabinetry, light-colored quartz counters, a sink positioned under a bay window, a long prep island underneath frosted-glass pendant lights, and white appliances, including an electric stovetop.

To the right, the sunroom offers two ceiling fans, a light-colored ceramic-tile floor, a vaulted ceiling, and a sliding door to the fenced-in side yard.

Past the dining room, a hall leads to the living room, which has hardwood flooring underfoot and museum-style lighting overhead that points to a display alcove on one wall. From this room, there is one of those aforementioned additions, a step-down family room with a cathedral ceiling, a hardwood floor, a pellet stove, and sconces on either side of a Palladian window.

An oak stairway bathed in the natural light from a Palladian window leads to the second floor and the home's three bedrooms. The master suite has a ceiling fan with a globe light, hardwood flooring, double walk-in closets, a vaulted ceiling, and a bath with a dual vanity, a double shower, a ceramic-tile floor, a jetted tub, and quartz counters.

The other two bedrooms are carpeted. The main upstairs bath has a jetted tub and a separate shower.

The basement is finished, and the home, which sits on a 0.18-acre lot, has solar panels with a transferrable lease, a walk-up unfinished attic, three-zoned central-air, hot and cold water access outside, a stone patio with lighting, and a security system.

The Hensases are downsizing, but Joanne will still being making those cookies for Gronk and Lenny will still be behind the X-ray machine.
