Needham home meets needs
Mid-July is a time when families looking to settle down before school starts need to make decisions.
School districts, commutes, soccer teams — everything needs to be settled before fall rolls around and it’s go time.
This summer, of course, is different, and while those decisions still need to be made, growing families will appreciate a home that can accommodate life as it is right now, and what it might return to. This is where 48 Hawthorn Ave. in Needham excels.
The brand new singlefamily construction is tailormade for busy families on the go, even if that “go” doesn’t extend much farther than the backyard.
The home, Elite Builders’ latest custom project (there are two more to come, one in Needham and another in Weston) is in a sweet spot of great schools, Needham’s lovely Perry Park, walking distance to the commuter rail, and Interstate 95 close by.
Similarly, the home itself is a balancing act of space (there’s plenty, almost 4,300 square feet, five bedrooms and six baths), openness, areas to gather and areas to, well, take a break from each other. In addition to boasting modern finishes and a contemporary open layout, the home is still traditionalish.
There’s handsome millwork and crown moulding, a formal dining space and a serious fireplace in the living room for families that crave those cozy details.
But this home is also designed to work for and with a busy family. A heavyduty kitchen with a massive gas range, double wall oven and nooks and crannies for storing snacks and lunch boxes, a tiled mudroom off the two-car garage, and flexible rooms in both the third floor and the basement — ideal for working from home, doing homework from home, and anything else this year throws our way.
The sale of the home, offered at $1,769,000, is represented by Diane Hughes Valente with Keller Williams Realty, 781-686-3477.
