1098 Webster Street, Needham, MA 02492
Identifying the target buyers for your property The home showcases a thoughtfully elevated main level, where refinished floors and a beautifully renovated kitchen with high-end appliances, neutraltoned counters, and complementary backsplashes create a timeless and cohesive design. The primary suite has been reimagined, and both bathrooms on this level reflect tasteful, modern finishes that align with today’s luxury standards. A fully finished second floor significantly expands the living space, designed with architectural intention through large dormers and soaring ceilings that echo the openness below, offering two private bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a central recreation area. Palladium-style windows frame southern exposures and highlight the privacy and scale of the 1.4-acre setting. The lower level presents exceptional potential for further customization, featuring high ceilings, oversized windows, and a walkout at grade. Across every level, the home delivers a seamless blend of elegance, scale, and flexibility, resulting in a rare and compelling offering suited to a wide range of lifestyles.
