About this home

Nestled in the heart of Newton Center this 1825 Farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded. The 2009 addition of a family room, study/guest room and first floor full bathroom opening up to the updated kitchen with granite counters and breakfast bar makes this a wonderful home for easy family living and entertaining. Dutch doors off the kitchen opens out to the deck and patio overlooking the landscaped fenced-in yard. Three generous bedroom on the 2nd floor including a lovely master, as well as two full bathrooms both updated in 2016. Wonderful 3rd floor with two bedrooms and a play room. Additional updates include newer windows, hardwood floors through-out, central air and mud room. Easy access to Newton Center, restaurants, shops, places of worship, and the "T". A pleasure to show!
