About this home

Newton Centre! With its large rooms, high ceilings and set back staircase this home feels like it belongs on a major street yet is tucked on a lovely side street in an area with a small neighborhood feel. The fabulous location is just the first on a list of reasons to love this home. Recent high quality renovations include the addition of a home office space, stunning master bath, all new windows, recessed lights and fresh paint and floors throughout. The spacious main level has an expanded kitchen, generously sized dining and gathering rooms and rooms for quieter activities, both work and play related. Upstairs, off the surprising second floor foyer you'll find 4 bedrooms, each with a dedicated bath including the brand new J and J Bathroom and the tranquil Master Bath. SPACIOUS, GRACIOUS AND FILLED WITH LIGHT, ON A LEVEL LOT. Right between the shops and restaurants at Newton Centre and Newtonville. Close to Houses of Worship. Quick onto the Pike. Mason Rice. The list goes on...
