Listing broker remarks

Set in the back of a very quiet, popular Needham neighborhood, 29 Canavan Circle feels like the kind of home where life unfolds easily—morning coffee beneath the kitchen skylight, dinners that move from the dining room to the deck, and summer evenings spent entertaining in the privacy of a larger lot. Abundant windows fill the home with natural light, while the main level offers an easy flow for gathering, relaxing, and hosting. The living room sets a warm, social tone with hardwood floors, custom built-ins, slider to the deck, and dry bar with beverage/wine cooler. The high-end kitchen brings everyday luxury with cathedral ceiling, stone counters, Miele appliances, gas cooking, pantry, and breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with cathedral ceiling, full bath, walk-in closet, and custom storage. Two bright corner bedrooms, a fireplaced family room, office, mudroom, laundry, garage, efficient systems, and smart-home touches complete the experience.— Compass
