Set on exceptionally private acreage along the coveted Needham–Wellesley line, this reimagined estate offers rare scale, serenity, and sophistication. A comprehensive 2021 renovation transformed the home into a luxurious yet welcoming retreat, designed for both everyday living and refined entertaining. The heart of the home is the true chef’s kitchen with intentional, top-of-the-line finishes, seamlessly flowing into the lounge inspired, adjoining living and dining areas. A thoughtfully designed mudroom leads to the expansive attached two-car garage. The one of a kind primary wing is more of a private sanctuary, featuring two spa-like baths, dual dressing rooms, two private studies, and flexible bonus spaces. A dedicated home gym and wellness room open to the ultra-private, resort-style backyard with an inground pool, manicured grounds, & picturesque Sabrina Lake beyond. A turnkey offering in one of Needham’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
