This magical farmhouse blends historic charm with modern convenience on a private, tree-lined ¾-acre lot — just a short walk to Needham Center's shops and restaurants, the commuter rail, and schools. 5 bed, 3.5 bath.The chef's kitchen impresses with dual dishwashers and ovens, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a secret staircase adding a historic flourish. It flows into the family room, while the formal living and dining rooms showcase elegant moldings and ceiling medallions. A screened porch and granite-and-historic-brick patio open to stunning outdoor living.The showstopper: a 3-story barn with space for events, abundant storage, and a 950 sq. ft. third floor perfect as a home office or income-generating apartment — all topped with fully paid solar panels powering the home. The flat, grassy backyard is ideal for play, while a side yard offers room for a pool or addition. Rarely does such privacy exist in a location this central.
