Well maintained vintage colonial built in 1915 with plenty of updates and a more recent addition. Flexible floorplan and design to accomodate an in-law suite. Finished lower level could offer a potential bedroom space and/or an additional playroom....
Relatively open kitchen with some higher-end appliances. Nice outdoor/patio area in the backyard, which does abut Needham High School. Decently sized garage as well.

convenient location. Needham High school abuts the house. House has been updated and designed to have a in law suite. It has flexible floor plan but quirky layout.

Very quirky floor plan. Nice master bedroom and living room created via a 2012 addition. Kitchen in need of updating. Has a nice front porch and balcony in back that runs nearly the full length of the home.
