About this home

Tucked away on a private road, this charming red-brick French Colonial proves homes aren't built like this anymore and you'll see it the moment you enter! The elegant floor plan boasts formal living & dining spaces but the heart of the home is the spectacular chef’s kitchen. Boasting premium SS Wolf appliances, a spacious island with prep sink, freezer drawers and plenty of bar seating. An inviting f/p flanked by built-ins and a large bow window set the scene overlooking the expansive yard and manicured gardens.The sun-drenched sunroom flows effortlessly onto a massive bluestone patio made for summer entertaining. Designed for effortless living, the first floor primary suite offers a serene, private retreat, while three bedrooms (one ensuite) sit upstairs. Future expansion awaits in the storage space over the garage. Below a dream lower level unfolds with a second fireplace and a bespoke wine cellar built for your collection. Located near Needham, Wellesley and Elm Bank. NEED TO SEE!
