About this home

This beautifully updated 1894 Victorian home sits proudly upon a knoll in the heart of Newton Centre, boasting a commanding street presence and a stunning wrap-around porch. Inside, the residence seamlessly blends historic charm—original moldings, exquisite quarter-sawn oak, and leaded glass—with modern renovations and updated mechanical systems. The gracious foyer opens into a home bathed in natural light, featuring 10-foot ceilings and hardwood floors. Highlights include a 23-foot living room with a fireplace, a family room with pocket doors, and a serene greenhouse sunroom. The updated eat-in kitchen offers a center island and granite counters, complemented by an elegant dining room and a butler’s pantry with a wine cooler. The second floor hosts a luxurious master suite with a marble radiant-heat bath, two additional bedrooms, and laundry. The third floor adds three more bedrooms and a full bath. Outside, enjoy a lovely yard and a 2-car garage, all steps from Newton Center.
