Brand new kitchen with new cabinets, Granite counter tops, new appliances (except Frige), freshly painted exterior and interiors, 4 bed, 2.5 bath, one extra long, direct access garage, enclosed porch in the back off of dining room, overlooking a multi-terraced beautifully kept back yard with garden area, BBQ area, matured trees, and many fruit trees. Newly carpeted upper floor bedrooms and a finished playroom in lower level. Office or sitting area on second floor with a fantastic view of the well manicured backyard. Short walk to the Mitchell School and easy access to major highways. Great value for a solid Needham single family house.
