Home of the Week: 8,000-Square-Foot Colonial in Needham

This custom-designed 11-year-old Needham Colonial was created with an open floor plan, perfect for entertaining, yet also conceived for intimate, more quiet encounters. Considerable thought was given to the comfort and interests of the entire family with its 14 rooms consuming an impressive 8,000 square feet and a one acre landscape that offers a clay tennis court, heated in-ground pool with cabana and an outdoor kitchen and an indoor basketball court.

Not to be outdone by its exceptional construction are the details. At every turn, prospective homebuyers will appreciate the creative architectural features and state-of-the-art accessories added that perfectly enhance its appearance and overall appeal.

The two-story foyer greets guests through the front door. Depending on the occasion, the foyer leads to formal spaces, with the 18 x 13-square-foot living room or the 18 x 16 dining area. More casual affairs will be escorted to the 18 x 33 gourmet kitchen or the 22 x 20 family room. The floor also includes the 18 x 20 master suite, complete with a fireplace, spa bath and walk-in closet, and a handsome 18 x 16 fireplaced library drenched in rich natural wood.

The second story hosts equally luxurious family accommodations with four generously-sized bedrooms at 15 x 12, 18 x 17, 17 x 15 and 17 x 14. The finished lower level features many leisure and recreational choices with a 19 x 16 media room, a 19 x 14 game room and an 11 x 14 exercise room.

The house offers conveniences and amenities that will entertain the entire family and guests.
