About this House

Everyone says "wow"! This open, well lit home comes with one of the best commutes available into Boston yet it is in a wooded setting that visitors say they didn't know was here. All this and a short walk to all that downtown Needham offers.

This property comes with a wonderful modernist, multilevel home and includes an adjoining 2.31 acre lot that has just been subdivided for your investment potential.

The existing redwood multi-level home feels inspired by Wright and Usonian Architecture. It has received numerous updates. The modern kitchen includes granite countertops and maple cabinets and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Exposed beams and large windows allow the owners to enjoy wildlife and all four seasons yet you are only a short walk to all that Needham downtown hast to offer. The walk-out basement includes space for large home office, sitting room, play area, craft area and workshop, utilities and storage areas. There is a separate storage area we used as a wine cellar.

479 DEDHAM AVE, NEEDHAM, MA 02492 is a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2,760 sqft single-family home built in 1960. It last sold for $1,125,000 on Jul 19, 2017. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia.

    "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."
