About this home
This enchanting, beautifully updated Colonial is nestled back from the road on an enviable, fully fenced third-of-an-acre lot in an elegant Newton Corner neighborhood. The versatile main level layout includes an expansive living room with a beamed ceiling, warm wood paneling and a fireplace; a gracious formal dining room; a powder room; and an inviting play room adjacent to the sun-drenched 2022 eat-in kitchen outfitted with a quartz-capped kitchen island and sleek modern appliances. Both the kitchen and living spaces connect to a wonderful covered deck and a play yard. Four generous bedrooms and two thoughtfully renovated full bathrooms distinguish the 2nd floor, including a luxe primary suite with sitting room or office. Fab 3rd floor with its own bath, bedroom and lounge or work area. 2023 finished lower level with great room, gym, laundry & storage. Numerous updates include mini-split AC, refinished hardwoods, insulation and slate roof repairs. Attached 2-car garage with breezeway
