This Colonial style home is bright, clean, and ready to move right in. Freshly painted throughout with newly finished hardwood floors, this home offers the next owner a flexible floorplan with a spacious kitchen, a cozy sitting room with built-ins and french doors, and additional space for a formal dining room or home office, all on the first floor. The 575 square foot family room, right off the kitchen provides additional dining space, a wood burning fireplace, and abundant natural light. Four generous size bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a primary suite with a private bathroom and walk-in closet make up the second floor. Efficient solar panels (owned, not rented), a two car garage, a finished rec room in the basement, and a first floor laundry room are just a few of the other highlights. The yard is level and very private with a deck, patio, and raised garden beds. The location is convenient to both Needham Heights, the town center and the highly regarded Sunita Williams School.
