About this home

Classic colonial set back on Needham Heights prestigious Highland Ave, with all the benefits of a driveway on private Carey Place. This home has been well-loved and tastefully updated. A welcoming foyer leads to a living room centered by a gas fireplace with stone surround. Open to this is a sunroom/sitting area awash in sunlight from a wall of windows. New in 2018 is a custom kitchen with elements for optimal storage. Sleek and smartly designed with no detail overlooked, this kitchen is a cook’s dream. A primary bedroom offers an expanded closet and a recently added designer marble bath. A walk-up third level lends more space. Entertain with ease on the private back patio, surrounded by beautiful landscape and lush plantings. Here you can satisfy your green thumb with a garden bed, mature sprouts and built-in irrigation. Curb appeal galore with extensive exterior upgrades (see list). All less than ½ mile to Trader Joe’s plaza, restaurants, commuter rail, library and MORE!
