About this home

Timeless charm meets incredible potential in this 1930's Tudor, perfectly positioned on a level lot in the heart of a desirable South Newton neighborhood. The home’s classic character immediately shines through with beautiful wood floors and spacious rooms. The main level offers a generous kitchen with garden views, a sun-drenched living room with a wood-burning fireplace and formal dining room. The heated four-season sunroom offers a seamless connection to the private backyard. A standout feature of this property is the dedicated office/guest suite boasting a separate entrance with ramp, sitting room, and half bath. This flexible space is ideal for remote work, in person appointments or could be transformed to a family room or guest suite. Upstairs includes the primary bedroom featuring an ensuite bath, two bright bedrooms and a full bath. There is a walk up attic with generous storage and bonus room with closet, an unfinished basement and an attached single car garage.
