About this home

Rarely available single family home in absolutely ideal Newton Centre location. Long time owner has taken wonderful care of this three plus bed, two and a half bath home situated just off of Boston Marathon's famous Heartbreak Hill. Close to everything yet tucked away on a tranquil residential side street, this recently renovated property comes complete with central air, hardwood floors, first floor sun room, and a lovely side porch overlooking the spacious backyard. The attic leads to roughly 600 sq.ft of unfinished storage space, as well as a full basement with access to the backyard. New roof, new kitchen, newer gas heat, and beautifully manicured front and rear yard round out this impressive listing. One block from the main Newton Public Library in one direction, one block to two scenic ponds in the other direction, and minutes from many houses of worship. OH Sat 6/16 12-1pm and 6/17 12-1pm
