Located at the end of a cul-de-sac is this lovingly cared for Contemporary Ranch designed by architect Stanley Lawrence Myers and built by Benjamin Franklin Homes. Valley Spring Rd encompasses one of the earliest subdivisions of Contemporary style homes constructed in Newton. Set in a choice residential neighborhood, the beautiful elevated lot with mature trees and plantings offers tranquility and privacy. The entry foyer leads to the open concept living room with a gorgeous brick fireplace, access to a huge front deck, and a picture window affording views of the golf course. The dining area has a glass door leading to the delightful level rear yard and opens to the eat-in kitchen. There are three bedrooms including a primary bedroom with private bath. The lower level has a large finished playroom, work shop, and laundry room and has direct access to the garage. Lots of windows and natural light. 2020 roof. Close to local shops, parks, BC, Mass Pike. A solid home in need of updating.
