Real Estate

Needham Home of the Week: 170 Oxbow Rd.

This impressive estate offers luxury and comfort and perfectly blends those qualities with a casual elegance.

This spectacular custom-built home, constructed only six short years ago, was designed with dimensions, luxuries, amenities and expressions one would imagine if asked to propose their dream home. Well, the conception and fabrication and the concept were made into realty.

Its fitting introduction begins as visitors enter the nearly one and a half acre grounds and pull directly in front of this magnificent estate and enter through majestic columns and its wrap-around porch and into a grand two-story foyer. The first stop on the first-floor tour begins with elegant and formal 17 x 17 and 17 x 15 square foot living and dining areas with French doors and recessed lighting. The impressive 16 x 36 square foot gourmet eat-in kitchen is a culinary masterpiece with premier cabinetry and granite surfaces, including a center island that stretches almost the entire width of the room and includes top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and ingredients that any level cook would need to prepare meals from simple breakfasts to elaborate dinner parties. The 24 x 27 square foot family room perfectly sets the stage for a relaxed background with a fireplace, French doors and recessed lighting.

The second level continues that luxurious style with four bedrooms, each with their own full, well-appointed private baths. The 24 x 45 square foot master suite is a personal haven with a fireplaced sitting room, balcony, walk-in closet and the remaining three bedrooms offer measurements at 14 x 16 (2) and 15 x 17 square feet. This floor also contains a beautiful 25 x 35 square foot in-law suite with a full bath and dining area. A 19 x 24 square foot bedroom with a private bath is located on the third level which could also be used as an au-pair or teenager suite. The basement expands the dimensions of this home even further with 3,000 square feet of finished space not included in the listed square footage and includes a media room with a wet bar and another full bath.

Not to be outdone, the outdoor landscape on this property offers its own version of generosity with an in-ground heated Gunite pool, cabana, tennis courts/basketball court and a heated three-car garage.

This home is an exceptional opportunity for families who enjoy a diverse lifestyle and desire a home that can accommodate recreational activities and entertaining while supporting personal needs, all in a warm, inviting environment. The value of all this and so much more is difficult to estimate, but this property does have an asking price way below assessment, making it a great financial opportunity.
