Finally, a Cape style home that has all 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the second level. Sits on a cul-de-sac that is just a short walk to Needham town center and the Needham Junction Commuter Rail Station. The master bedroom easily fits a king size bed, has his and hers closets and an ensuite bathroom. All the classic charm with a center entrance, dining room and living room with fireplace. There is plenty of space to relax in the den that overlooks the private back yard and opens onto the deck. Nice eat-in kitchen with slider to the deck making it easy to grill and entertain outside. The attached one car garage opens into the kitchen making it so convenient to unload the groceries. Laundry is in the unfinished basement. Could use some updating. Open House Sunday January 24th from 12-3 pm.
