About this home

Set on a half-acre in coveted West Newton Hill, this 1925 home offers 3,986 SF with 4 beds and 3.5 baths. Thoughtfully reimagined, it preserves original character while adding a modern sensibility. The living room, centered on a wood-burning fireplace, opens to a window-lined family room. The dining room blends restored woodwork with leaded cabinetry. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features an oversized island, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and professional appliances. A casual eat-in area opens to a two-tiered deck with a built-in grill. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a sunroom, walk-in closet, and updated bath, with 3 additional beds and two full baths. A flexible third floor offers space for play or a hangout. A lower level with laundry and direct garage access adds function. Outdoors, the fenced yard is landscaped and framed by mature plantings, creating a perfect setting for everyday play. Easy access to the Pike, I-95, and top area schools.
