This charming 1930 colonial has been totally renovated from top to bottom. It has all the beauty and conveniences of a new kitchen, bathrooms, windows and new finishes while enjoying the character of an older home. Sparkling hardwood floors, marble counters, high end appliances including a wine fridge, custom cabinetry, and central air conditioning are just a few of the perks. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, the master having a separate nursery/sitting room with windows on three sides. The third bedroom, overlooking the walkout backyard, is on the lower level (above grade), and can be accessed by a separate entrance. The fresh landscaping and new mahogany deck were done with easy maintenance in mind. This three bedroom home, in an amazing neighborhood on Needham's Bird's Hill, is close to the Hersey Train station, Broadmeadow School, Perry Park and downtown.
