A Standout on Standish! Set in Needham’s desirable Olin Woods area, this spacious five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath single-family home offers an exceptional combination of space, comfort, and location, ideally situated between Needham Center and Wellesley Center. A custom addition and renovation completed in 2004 created an expansive, open floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, custom maple cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, opening seamlessly to a generous family room with fireplace, wet bar and a sun-filled breakfast room overlooking the backyard. A private first-floor office provides dedicated space for working from home. Upstairs, the large primary suite features walk-in closet and a spacious bath with whirlpool tub and separate shower. Dual staircases add convenience and character to the thoughtfully designed layout. Additional highlights include central air, a full finished basement with game and exercise rooms, a walk-up attic offering excellent additional space, and a two-car garage. Outside, a large deck overlooks the backyard and extends the home’s living and entertaining space. With five bedrooms, flexible living areas, and convenient access to the shops, restaurants, schools, commuter routes, and amenities of both Needham and Wellesley, this is a wonderful opportunity in an established neighborhood. Welcome home!
