About this home

Tucked into a quiet, walkable neighborhood is this charming cape-style home which has been lovingly cared for and is ready for a new owner. The house features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, living room, dining room and bright and cheery family room that faces the back yard. The 2nd floor (with knotty pine walls and hardwood floors) makes for a terrific master suite, as the bedroom is oversized, it has a 1/2 bath within and SURPRISE, an attached sitting room! Full bath & two bedrooms on 1st floor could allow new owners to age in place. Full basement w/ interior and exterior access. Exterior space is lovingly landscaped. Architectural roof with heating coils for snow melt and an attached single-car garage round it out. Public elementary, middle & high schools all within .6 miles - a dream come true here in Newton. Easy access to route 9, 95 and only .7 miles to the Newton Highlands green line T-stop. Open Houses all weekend!
