About this home

Two a adjoining building lots. Welcome to 764 Central Avenue in the desirable Sunita Williams School neighborhood! Set near Volante Farms, this distinctive property offers an exceptional opportunity to renovate, expand or explore new construction on an approximately 45,942 sq. ft. lot. The gently rolling grounds feature a picturesque ornamental pond, traditionally enjoyed for winter ice skating, creating a unique setting rarely found this close to Needham Center. The sun-filled Cape-style residence offers approximately 1,705 sq. ft. of living space, including five bedrooms, two full baths and a comfortable living room. Renovate and personalize the existing home, undertake a substantial expansion, or investigate the property's new-construction potential, subject to all applicable approvals and buyer due diligence. An additional opportunity: An abutting approximately 10,209 sq. ft. lot with an existing New England timber frame barn is also available for purchase separately ($1,000,000), providing buyers the opportunity to assemble approximately 56,151 sq. ft. of contiguous land. Buyers interested in additional land, privacy, recreational space or development potential should inquire for details. Enjoy convenient access to Sunita Williams Elementary School, athletic fields, playgrounds and Volante Farms. Needham Center and Needham Heights commuter-rail stations are nearby, along with Needham's restaurants, shops, recreational facilities and active cultural community. And yes, there is a Trader Joe's! A distinctive property with abundant land and possibilities in one of Needham's most convenient neighborhoods. Property is being sold “as is.” Buyers and their representatives are responsible for independently verifying all information and performing their own due diligence regarding zoning, wetlands, utilities, permits, buildability and development potential.
