About this home

Fantastic opportunity to live directly adjacent to the Charles River Greenway in Newtonville (Newton North HS District). A corner lot, located at the end of a tree lined Thaxter and Parkway. The 4th picture (from open concept dining room/ kitchen) directly views out to the Charles River Greenway w/ walking, biking trails, left towards Waltham and right to Boston. This is a very updated, charming cape style home that underwent a substantial renovation in 2018. And with a newly designed floor plan on each level, this home can easily absorb simple updates/ additional appointments though currently in 100% move-in condition. . There are three (3) uniquely styled and adequately spaced 2nd floor bedrooms w/ closet/crawl space for storage, double closets in the master bedroom with master bath, hardwoods throughout both levels, and still with 4th bedroom/ office possibilities on the 1st floor bedroom. Mini splits in each bedroom / common area and a one car garage w/ mudroom side entrance.

Wonderful opportunity to live in a lovely family neighborhood in the Newton North High School District. This charming cape has 4 bedrooms and 2 3/4 bathrooms and is located at the end of a tree lined street, and abuts the Charles River and DCR bike trail. Easy walk to Russo’s, Stop and Shop and many other stores. This house has great bones and tremendous potential for expansion on the second floor as a possible in-law apartment with separate entry. The ready to be finished dry basement is 1000 square feet and is used by the family as a rec room, laundry room, workshop and storage area. The water heater was replaced in 2016, and the washer and dryer are included. Easy access to the Mass Pike, Storrow and Memorial Drives, as well as public transportation. This much loved home is ready for your updates or move right in.
