Home of the Week: 48 Fuller Brook Ave, Needham

The purchase of this beautiful colonial is a great opportunity to enter the Needham real estate market and proudly own a full-bodied residence that is a quintessential example of Needham's robust residential inventory. This traditional structure presents a timeless architectural design while also reflecting the distinctive classic interpretation found throughout Needham of this New England classic.

This home's interior subtly reflects its rich heritage but has been modified and renovated to also comply with today's styling standards and preferences. The bright eat-in kitchen serves updated culinary ingredients with new granite surfaces and backsplash and stainless steel appliances. Various dining options include stool seating at a center island and a lovely breakfast room with a sliding door that leads to a new Trex deck for refreshing meals al fresco. The fireplaced living room and dining room provide perfect settings for formal entertaining while the comfortable and inviting family room will quickly become one of the most popular rooms in the house.

The second level hosts three generously sized bedrooms with equally liberal closet space, including an oversized front-to-back master bedroom large enough to enhance with a private bath. The finished lower level expands the living options with a playroom and laundry center.

Other beneficial amenities and valuable modernizations include a security system, central air conditioning, a whole house fan, updated baths, a storage shed and a large quarter of an acre fenced-in yard.

Prospective Needham homebuyers searching for a warm and welcoming home, look no further. This 63 year-old property was designed and built to accommodate a time when families spent a lot more time at home and continues to sustain that hospitable model today. Its address reinforces that ideal with its location on one of only a few cul-de-sacs designed for a true neighborhood setting. Hopefully its next owners will assume and respect the responsibility to maintain its resources to endure another half decade of housing trends.
