About this home

In a lovely West Newton neighborhood, this charming Cape Cod style home is under a mile to both the West Newton Village and Waltham’s Moody Street with shops, restaurants & a movie theater. This location is also under a mile to the public elementary and middle schools, offers central air conditioning and is sited on level lot with a grassy yard and attached one car garage. The foyer opens to a spacious living room with a fireplace. Off the living room is a great office, perfect for working from home or a Peloton. Across the foyer is a large dining room that leads to the kitchen with a good amount of workspace & storage, and a door to the yard. A hallway leads to the sunny first level bedroom and bathroom. On the top floor is a nice sitting room and the second bedroom. Presently semi-finished, the basement houses the 2nd full bathroom, systems, laundry and ample storage.
