Great opportunity to get into desirable area, Oak Hill, of Newton and build equity while enjoying the benefits of a location close to Solomon Schechter Day School, Public Schools, JCC, Millennium Park Playground, Charles River CC. 10 minutes to Newton Center. Current owners have lived in the property for 16 years. Newer heating system, central AC, nice hardwood floors and 8ft. high cielings. Situated on a 9100 square foot beautiful level lot in an area of $1M+ homes. Spacious private back yard. Interior will need some cosmetic repairs in several areas. Excellent opportunity for end-user or builder to update or add-to (or build up into attic) this solid single family home. Nice quiet street location.
