The perfect home. Location, location: possibly the best street in Needham. Picture this: the kind of neighborhood where children play and walk to school together, and adults throw annual block parties and organize Easter egg hunts. Easy access to everywhere - a nine-minute walk to the Commuter Rail, or a three-minute drive to Route 95. Walk to the highly sought after Broadmeadow Schools. Three-minute walk to the Needham Golf Course. The house is situated at the top of the hill overlooking the whole street. Large and beautiful covered farmer's porch. The traditional entryway opens to a front parlor with mantled fireplace and original woodwork. Continue inside to discover an open-concept living room and dining room, and a large efficient eat-in kitchen with granite counters, heated tile floor, and a large bay window looking to the fenced yard. The systems are up-to-date highly efficient Rinnai heat/hot water, and the roof has thirty-five-year shingles. Move right in.
