About this home

In the heart of Newton Highlands, this Victorian offers immediate proximity to Crystal Lake and the "T" stop to downtown Boston. Car not needed for local errands, evenings out at pubs and restaurants, or for getting to the elementary school. The first floor features an eat-in-kitchen with stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters, and oversized south-facing windows to the beautiful garden with established perennials and shrubbery. Completing this level are a dining room with bay windows; an oversized living room with two areas for seating, a fireplace, and built-ins; and powder room. The second floor has a full bath, a main bedroom with walk-in closet and sun-drenched sitting area, two other bedrooms, and an extra walk-in closet in the hall. The partially finished basement has a full bath (w/ shower), a family room/home office, and storage. A single-car detached garage and a delightful patio with hanging bittersweet & trumpet vines complete this enchanting home.
