Set on a private way in Needham Heights, this beautifully updated and thoughtfully designed 2005 Colonial offers the kind of space and versatility that adapts beautifully to everyday life. The first floor brings together a fireplaced living room, generous family room, bright eat-in kitchen with excellent storage, and a formal dining room that can easily flex as a first-floor bedroom, office or lounge. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath, joined by two additional bedrooms and a dedicated office. A finished walk-up third floor adds a fourth bedroom and bonus room, with plumbing and electrical already in place for a future bath. Recent improvements include refinished hardwood floors on the main level, new hardwood upstairs, and new granite in the kitchen and baths. Basement has high ceilings and is waiting for your customizations. Outdoors, the flat fenced yard and patio create an easy extension of the living space. With shops, dining, schools, commuter rail and Route 95/128 all close by, this home combines comfort, function and convenience in one of Needham Heights’ most accessible locations.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,915 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 4,792 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
