About this House

This sun-filled wonderfully updated colonial is in a sought-after neighborhood.

The family room has built-in shelving and a slider to the bluestone patio and private yard with specimen trees and perennial flowering plants. Upstairs are two bedrooms with baths that are big enough to be master suites and two large family bedrooms that share a bath. The very nicely finished basement has engineered wood flooring, wainscoting, built-in granite counter with a 48 bottle wine rack and beverage fridge. Located very close to the Newman Elementary school and its recently built playground and ball fields. The baths are updated, floors refinished, and boiler/AC replaced. The exterior Hamilton Blue siding and trim have been lovingly maintained. The rear-facing solar panels (owned, not leased) have produced free electricity and a $2500 yearly credit.

    "Living n Needham and commuting to the city is very straight forward. The rail line is dedicated to the Needham commuter rail, the line ends/originated in Needham, and there are 4 stops in the small town. I walk 5min from my house to the train and get off at back Bay to walk just another 5min to my office. Delays are limited due to the fact that this rail line only serves the Needham line."
