Nicely updated Colonial with a fabulous floor plan, 2-car garage and 16,240sf lot is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in the Ward School area, one of Newton’s premier neighborhoods. This sunny 5BR, 3.5BA home with its south-facing level lot is on a tree lined street with no thru-traffic – a surprisingly private enclave with great access to the schools, the Pike, Newton Center and transportation to Boston and Cambridge. The home features lovely period detail, a fire-placed living room with access to a side sunroom and lovely views of the yard front and back. Formal dining with built-ins, and an eat-in kitchen with access to farmer's porch and spectacular backyard. All 5 bedrooms are spacious and baths modern. The partially finished basement with fireplace provides for separate media room or play-space. Plenty of storage too! The yard is unusually large and usable for ball games, entertaining, gardening or expanding the home’s footprint – great potential given SR2 zoning. A winner all around!
