About this home

Absolute A+ location in Newton Centre adjacent to Mason Rice Elementary School and the Newton Centre Playground. Close to virtually everything, yet tucked away on a side street with a cul-de-sac feel. Long time owners have taken impeccable care of this 4 bedroom home, complete with formal dining room, wood floors, eat-in-kitchen and partially finished basement(not included in sq. footage). A spacious fireplaced living room leads to a bright and sunny den with multiple possibilities; a great flow throughout. New gas boiler installed in 2013 gas conversion, 30yr architecturally shingled roof done in 2010, all newer high end windows. A wonderful home in an ideal neighborhood. Open House Saturday 1/27 11:30-1pm, Sunday 1/28 11:30-1pm.
