About this home

Here is a wonderful 1940 gabled brick colonial set in a quiet Newton Centre neighborhood. Possessing irresistible charm and top-notch location, this is not a home to be missed. It is perfectly positioned with access to Newton Centre, Crystal Lake, the Newton Highlands T-stop, public schools, and Centre St. - to Rte 9 or Rte 90. The home is located on a quiet side street abutting Weeks Field, with tennis courts, plush park grass, and soccer fields. Inside, oak hardwood floors on both the main level and upstairs are just a component of the solidity of this home. Discover the three season porch, den with fireplace and formal living and dining rooms. The upstairs contains 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a large walk-up attic with twin storage closets. The finished family room in the lower level includes its own half-bath. You'll find a detached 2-car garage in back. Though some of the décor is past its prime, the foundation is here for some TLC from a new owner. Come make it your own!
