About this home
Nestled on a spectacular .43 acre corner lot in one of Newton's most sought-after neighborhoods, this stately brick English Manor Colonial offers timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship. Surrounded by mature trees, the property commands a presence rarely found in today’s market. A gracious entry foyer welcomes you with a stunning bridal staircase and soaring ceilings. Rich period details abound, including exquisite quarter-sawn oak paneling in the formal dining room and intricate moldings and millwork that showcase the home's enduring quality. The expansive family room features a handsome fireplace and an abundance of floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the home with natural light. The second floor offers five generous bedrooms and a third-floor bonus room provides flexible space for guests, a home office, or additional living area. A unique feature is the home's two driveways, including a separate curb cut on quiet Ruthven Road, providing convenient access and additional parking
