About this home

In the heart of Newton Highlands, this four-bed, four-bath corner townhouse offers the feel of a gracious single family, with three generous living levels. A central stair gracefully divides the main level into two versatile double-parlor areas: on one side, a living and dining area with wood-burning fireplace; on the other, a front room opens to the kitchen with breakfast bar. The second level offers a master bedroom with two walk-in closets and en suite bath with separate soaker tub and shower. Two more spacious bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. The skylit top floor offers a fourth bedroom, a study and the fourth full bath––well suited as a guest or au pair suite. Tall ceilings, and custom shelving in stairwell, guest room and study. Exclusive driveway for two-plus cars. One block to Lincoln Street shops and Green Line D train. Short blocks to serene Crystal Lake. Served by Zervas Elementary, Oak Hill Middle School and Newton South High. Blocks to Rte 9 and Whole Foods.
