Welcome to this beautifully maintained Dutch Colonial in the Village of West Newton. Enter into a foyer that leads to the bright and airy living room with a gas fireplace and hardwood floors that flow into the dining room. The modern kitchen features a center island, stainless steel appliances, and sliding glass doors that open onto the large deck, private backyard, and two car garage. This home was custom designed when it was built to have two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an open flexible space on the second floor with potential for 3rd bedroom. The lower level is finished with a family room, second full bathroom, and laundry. It has many recent improvements including 2018 electrical panel, 2018 range & refrigerator, 2014 hot water heater, 2011 roof, and 2008 boiler. Located close to stores, restaurants, and movie theater, this wonderful home also has easy access to the Mass Pike, buses, and the commuter rail.
This sun filled, beautifully appointed side entrance colonial has been lovingly maintained and updated through the years. Its original charm and character have been preserved and blended with thoughtful improvements for today's lifestyle. An updated kitchen has oak cabinetry, with a center island, granite counter tops and sliders to a Trex deck which overlooks the private yard and leads to a 2 car garage and a shed. The gracious living room with a gas fireplace, crown molding and recessed lights opens to a lovely dining room with chair rail and crown molding. The second floor offers two generously proportioned bedrooms,a full bath with bead board wainscoting and a bonus office/sitting area. All the windows have been replaced, as was the roof and garage door. The basement is finished with a full bath. New gas boiler in 2008. New water heater in 2014. Nothing to do but move right in!
