About this home

This SW-facing, sun-splashed Village Colonial will captivate you! Tucked away on one of Newton's favorite streets, architectural details abound in this very well-maintained home. The front entry leading to a spacious, welcoming Foyer. The Living Room offers an exquisite built-in cabinet, stained glass window, beautiful wood trim and lovely fireplace. The formal Dining Rm has a built-in custom cabinet/bkcase, wainscoting & a French door leading to an inviting, enclosed porch. The Eat-in-Kitchen has built-ins, pantry & gas cooking. There is a fabulous new full bath on the first floor. Upstairs, there is a spacious Master bedrm, two additional bedrms w/tree-top views & a separate office. Off the kitchen, enjoy dining alfresco on the expanded side patio. Central air, replacement windows & the recently painted interior with designer colors complete this special home. Parking for 2+ cars (not tandem!). A commuter's dream, minutes to Mass Pike & express/regular buses only a block away. A Gem!
