This 4-5 bedroom mid-century home sits in Needham's prestigious South Street estate area. Entire walls of glass wrap the first floor, meaning the backyard, the sky, and the changing seasons are always part of the rooms. You don't need to step outside to feel like you're already there. A separate guest wing with its own bedroom and full bath is perfect for family, guests, or a live-in arrangement. Two bedrooms are en-suite. Downstairs, enjoy the sunken library with teak built-ins. The kitchen and bathrooms are older and reflect the home's vintage. They're functional and clean, but prospective tenants should expect older rather than updated finishes. The home's character lives in its architecture and its relationship to the outdoors. Enjoy a large, fully private backyard with a fire pit, visible from nearly every room on the first floor. Metal roof, solar panels, EV charger and heat pumps just installed in 2026. 5 heating/cooling zones.
