About this home

In a prime West Newton Hill location on an almost a half-acre level lot, this beautiful 1940 Colonial with an attached 2 car garage awaits your vision. Located less than a 1/4 mile to Peirce Elementary and a 1/2 mile to West Newton Village. The foyer is open to a curved staircase with French doors to the living room with a fireplace and a door to the covered patio & backyard. Across the foyer is a nice dining room with two built-in corner China cabinets. Perfectly located off the dining room is the kitchen that leads to the mudroom and small 1st floor bedroom suite with a full bath. A hallway from the kitchen and foyer accesses the cozy den with a bay of windows and the powder room. On the second level is the primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet & full bathroom, plus 3 more nice bedrooms and the third full bathroom. The walk-up attic offers expansion potential. The lower level includes a play room, laundry, systems & storage. Wonderful opportunity for an end-user or developer.
