Hawthorn Investments Presents: 1316 South Street, Needham

August 29, 2011

Hawthorn Investments Presents In September 2010, Hawthorn Investments completed its project at 1316 South Street in Needham.  The project involved the development of a 1.5 acre parcel located near the intersection of South Street and Charles River in Needham.  The lot was cleared and ready for construction in January, and the project was completed on time for a Labor Day delivery.

The home was designed by the father of the owner, an experienced Sun Valley architect, and plans were developed by Babbitt Design.  Each room was carefully planned, and the home features personal touches throughout.  It is unique in its design and layout and the result is a home that combines elegance and warmth with flow and functionality.

Great attention and care was given to create a space for the family to have room to interact but also enjoy independence.

The features and finishings are tasteful and exhibit careful and meticulous craftsmanship.
