Dramatic golf course views! Abutting Newton Commonwealth Golf Course, this 5 bedroom home was well designed. Built in to the landscape and maximizing outdoor space and views. Dramatic use of glass. Open living area with separate level and entrance for au pair/office. Most of the house not visible from the street. A sense of quiet on this tucked away cul-de-sac yet convenient to highways, public transportation and Ward School.
