About this home

100 Hundred Years Young! A Stunning Renovation of this stately 1916 Colonial has just been completed and features all the amenities you are looking for in a rarely available setting. Located on a cul-de-sac with only 7 properties, this location is a little bit Newton Centre, a little bit Chestnut Hill. The open floorplan flows beautifully from formal to informal spaces to accommodate abundant living and opens to the expansive, breathtaking rear yard. The Kitchen features a Prep Kitchen/Pantry, fully equipped for overflow cooking, caterer and bar set up, and quick to close when hiding a mess! Breath in relaxation in the Master Suite with its cathedral ceiling + luxurious bath. Truly a home to enjoy in all seasons! Summer begins here- with long days and evenings at the pool- while long Winter nights will find you cozied up in the home theatre watching a favorite film. Direct entry Oversized Garage (access on Hammond St.) to a large mudroom w cubbies and closets. Check out the 3D tour!
