About this home

At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the South Side of Newton is this charming split-level, ranch-style home on an over 20,000 square foot lot. This inviting property begins with a large formal living room with oversized windows and fireplace. The living room is open to the dining room as well as the recently renovated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A bonus family room addition boasts several skylights and a suite of windows, allowing for a flood of natural light. There are two family bedrooms on this level along with the master suite and en-suite bathroom. The lower level of the home has three generously sized finished rooms and two full bathrooms including a potential bedroom suite that was once the home's garage. This property also has great development and expansion potential. Not to be missed!
