About This Home

As of July 2025

Nestled in the desirable Olin Woods neighborhood on a corner lot in a quiet cul-de-sac, this light-filled home offers the perfect balance of comfort, space, and location. Ideally located between Needham and Wellesley Centers, it features a spacious open kitchen with gas cooking, white cabinetry, a large quartz island, and stainless steel appliances—perfect for daily living and entertaining. The open layout flows into a generous family room with a fireplace and a large den with cathedral ceilings, custom built-ins, and expansive windows overlooking the fenced yard. Step onto the deck for outdoor dining and BBQs. Four bedrooms on the main level include a serene primary suite with double sinks and an updated private bath, plus another full bath. The finished lower level offers space for a bright in-law/au pair suite with a 5th bedroom, full bath, second family room, laundry, exercise area, and walk-out access to the beautifully landscaped backyard. Direct access to a two-car garage.
