Property description
Beneath these majestic pines lies another world where tranquility is the rule of the day - where sounds of sparrows & peepers fill the air and rabbits wander. For a moment you might forget that you’re a 25 minute drive to downtown Boston. Lovingly maintained country cottage is situated on an acre lot w/terraced garden beds dotting the periphery. Kitchen is remarkably versatile w/ability to cook while staying engaged w/family. Dining area overlooking marsh feels like something out of an Anne of Green Gables novel. Beautiful study w/built-in bookcases & exposed beams can be used as formal dining rm or office. Upstairs, there are 3 BRs, all w/skylights. Full baths on both flrs. The most beautiful sunrises you will see in Needham are right outside your window. Charming potting shed under garage has new stone flrs & electricity allowing extra space for hobby or play. Roof replaced 2012. Needham location is coveted for good reason: short drive to Rt 9 Wellesley & Newton shops & dining.
