Welcome home to this charming, lovingly cared-for classic center-entrance Colonial on a large, level lot. Adjacent to BC Law and Edmands Park and just minutes to the commuter rail and Mass Pike, it offers ready access to the villages of Newtonville and Newton Centre. A front-to-back living room on the first floor opens to a sunlight-bathed office and a spacious deck. The kitchen, separate dining room, and full bath round out the first floor. The second floor features three comfortable bedrooms, including a generous master with walk-in closet, and a second full bath. A partially-finished basement offers a den, workshop, and laundry. The attached garage and storage shed is conveniently accessible from the side entrance. A must see!

Unusual for a home built at this time, the bedrooms here have quite a bit of closet space. No direct access to the attached garage from main property. Separate built-in storage area located to right of garage.
