The formal living room includes plumbing for an effortless first-floor suite conversion, while the family room features a stately fireplace and coffered ceilings. Four bedroom suites feature private en-suite baths, led by a primary sanctuary boasting dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, and a radiant-heated spa bath. A versatile third floor serves as a lounge or office. The walk-out lower level offers a private entrance, full bed/bath, gym, and massive great room. Outside, a patio overlooks a pristine 12,000+ sq ft yard.

About

Bowen-Thompsonville

Bowen-Thompsonville, located between Newton Corner and Nonantum, is a residential and commuter-friendly Newton neighborhood with leafy side streets and a Charles River edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Watertown Street at California Street, where corner markets, takeout counters, and everyday errands set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Community pillars include the historic Jackson Homestead & Museum, the Newton Free Library, and the Newton Theatre. Housing reads as classic Greater Boston: wood-frame colonials, tidy multifamilies, and pockets of mid-century apartments near main roads. River-adjacent paths and small parks shape an outdoorsy routine without leaving the city grid. MBTA stops and bus corridors thread through, keeping downtown Newton and Boston within practical reach.
