Timeless New England charm meets modern convenience in this pristine, classic Colonial built in 1961. This lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated home features an inviting, fluid floor plan highlighted by gleaming hardwood floors and sophisticated finishes throughout. The main level showcases an elegant fireplace-warmed living room, a formal dining room, and a custom designer kitchen outfitted with premium granite countertops and custom cabinetry that flows seamlessly into a bright family room. From the family room, double sliders transition beautifully to an entertainment deck overlooking an expansive, private backyard oasis. Upstairs, the home offers a gorgeous primary retreat boasting soaring cathedral ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath. Three additional generous bedrooms and a main full bathroom complete the upper level, while a high-ceilinged basement stands perfectly primed for future finishing. Complete with an attached two-car garage, this pristine gem is ideally situated in a convenient neighborhood just minutes from the coveted Sunita Williams Elementary School, Needham's bustling town center, shops, restaurants, the hospital, and premier commuter options including the bus, train, and quick access to Route 128/95.
