About this home

Opportunity knocks!!! Build your dream home on this fantastic 11,000+ square foot lot. This property is conveniently located close to the fantastic Volante Farms making it easy to grab a quick pre-made dinner or gourmet sandwich for lunch on your way home or to cool off at their ice cream stand with a cone on a hot summer day. This is a fantastic commuting location as well with easy access to major roadways and only being 1.2 miles from the Needham Heights Commuter Rail station. A mere 1 mile from the brand new, state of the art Williams Elementary School, it's hard to imagine living any place else.
