Needham Home of the Week: 231 West St., Unit 231

This brand new townhouse located on popular West Street offers its residents both location and perfection. From West Street, commuters can walk to the Needham Heights commuter rail station, or drivers can take advantage of nearby 128 and restaurants and retailing are just steps away.

In terms of excellence, the new owners will not be disappointed. The interior blueprint boasts a contemporary, open floor plan with many upgraded details and amenities, quality craftsmanship and three levels of living space to accommodate diverse needs and lifestyles.

The first level includes a 20 x 13 square foot living room and a 12 x 12 square foot dining area that are only separated by a short wall containing a shared glass fireplace. The 16 x 13 square foot custom kitchen is equipped with many culinary accessories, such as granite surfaces, wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a center island/breakfast bar for quick, casual meals.

The second floor offers a 16 x 16 square foot master bedroom, two additional bedrooms at 13 x 12 and 12 x 11 square feet, two full baths with double vanities, a laundry area and a 13 x 8 square foot loft which would make an ideal intimate sitting room or home office. The above-ground finished basement boasts an inviting 28 x 14 square foot family room that includes sliders that open into the rear yard and raised deck.

Other bonuses that have been applied to this fabulous property are a central vacuum system, security system, central air conditioning, hardwood floors, a composite deck and a shared one third acre of land. There are only two units within this complex and with its fresh construction, the current monthly fee is only $71.

This is both a practical and beautiful purchase to the potential homebuyer with a busy schedule and not interested in the financial and physical burden of home maintenance. Every piece of the structure is new and the reasonable monthly fee will cover the general costs. Simply unpack and enjoy!
