38 Dartmouth Avenue in Needham

There has been a lot of activity both in the Needham Real Estate market and at Hawthorn Real Estate this Spring.  Updated sales data has been posted for the first few months of 2012 on the  Needham Real Estate page.   These sales demonstrate a brisk market, especially for homes priced under $800,000.

Additionally, the real estate brokers at  Hawthorn Properties  have been busy with homes placed under agreement at  86 Hawthorn Avenue  in Needham,   75 Plymouth Road in Needham and  65 Spring Street  in Lexington; all three homes had offers within the first couple of days after they were placed on the market.  Hawthorn agents are also currently marketing for sale the home located at  56 Tower Avenue  in Needham, which is a classic Tudor home that has been impeccably renovated and maintained.  Also listed for sale is the new construction home located at  37 Fuller Road  in Needham.   37 Fuller Road, which is located in the Broad Meadow school district, is very similar in terms of size, layout and location to the the recently completed sale of the new home located at 41 Dawson Drive  in Needham.  The homeowners at Dawson moved into their new Needham home last month.

Along with 37 Fuller Road, which is nearing completion,  Hawthorn Builders  has been active on the construction front. The rough building inspections were completed this week at  119 Parker Road  in Needham, which is a new custom, cape style home.  In addition, the Needham Building Inspector signed off on the rough at  1302 South Street  in Needham; the project at 1302 South Street includes a full gut renovation and addition.  Both homes will be insulated over the next week and will be completed this summer. The renovations at  38 Dartmouth Avenue  in Needham and  41 Algonquian Drive  in Natick are also in full swing and are expected to be completed over the next few months.

Additional developments at Hawthorn Builders include  35 Livingston Circle  in Needham; here the customer secured the lot at the end of February and hired Hawthorn to build them a new custom home.  Hawthorn Builders also recently acquired the home located at  60 Parker Road  in Needham.  The development of the new homes at these sites is expected to begin this Spring (35 Livingston will be razed next week).  As always, please check into this site often for construction updates, new photos of the construction progress, as well as new floor plans and property specs for the new custom projects.
