This is a warm and inviting Colonial conveniently located in the much desired Bowen School Area on a dead end street. There is a lovely updated kitchen with white cabinets and granite countertops. There are French doors from the dining room to a first floor skylit family room which opens to a patio and the back yard. In addition to the first floor family room there is also a finished room in the lower level. Great location near Newton Centre and the Green line.
