About this House

Some houses feel like home the minute you step in the door--this is one of them. The kind where kids grow up shooting hoops in the driveway and walking across the street to Volante Farms for a freshly prepared sandwich or a summer ice cream treat. Where Saturday mornings mean board games by the gas fireplace and movie nights are held in the basement screening room. Where the day starts with coffee on the back deck and ends with neighbors on the front porch. 876 Central Ave is a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath contemporary colonial with 4,000+ sq ft of living space, finished lower level with play and exercise rooms, a walk-up attic for extra storage or future expansion, central AC, and an oversized 2-car garage. With hardwood floors throughout, and set far back from the road with a large private yard, this home is convenient to The Heights, Needham Center, the commuter rail, and Sunita Williams Elementary. Easy access to Newton and Wellesley and major highways. The memories are ready to be made.
876 Central Ave, Needham, MA 02492 is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 4,044 sqft single-family home built in 2005. It last sold for the $1,850,000 asking price on Jul 29, 2026.

    "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."
