About this House

For Sale By Owner, contact directly at 781-602-0555.
Location, location, location! Highly desirable Mitchell School neighborhood!
Fantastic huge, almost 0.55 acre, wooded and shady lot providing total privacy!
House is much bigger than it looks thanks to remodeling in 2000, with the addition of a new kitchen and master bedroom with high ceilings and a walk-in closet. State-of-the-art Buderus heating! Six-zone Mini-split Ductless Air Conditioning / Heat pump allows individual temperature control in each room, filtered air circulation, and significant savings on a heating bill! Well insulated, new garage and front doors, new landing, upgraded to 200 Amps, lots of other updates and replacements. Natural gas conversion is easy - a neighboring house was recently hooked up. Five bedrooms provide a lot of flexibility for larger families, office use, etc. Two full baths (one on each level) and a sink in the basement.
Everything is in great shape and ready to move in!
New roof in 2019 with a 10-yr warranty!
Lovely family-oriented neighborhood in a perfect and unique Needham location, easy walk to ALL schools (Mitchell Elementary, Middle Pollard, and Needham High), walk to T station, easy Highway access, yet very quiet and peaceful!

    "Living n Needham and commuting to the city is very straight forward. The rail line is dedicated to the Needham commuter rail, the line ends/originated in Needham, and there are 4 stops in the small town. I walk 5min from my house to the train and get off at back Bay to walk just another 5min to my office. Delays are limited due to the fact that this rail line only serves the Needham line."
