About this home

Step into this Victorian's large Foyer and you know this home has been loved, its heart-pine floors and quarter-sawn oak stair-work and casements lovingly maintained from birth. Relax at the LR fireplace or at the bay window, enjoying its flood of natural light. Entertain in the DR, with its yard views, with family and friends. The KIT connects through a butler's passage, offering a completely rejuvenated granite and SS kitchen with wine chiller, extra custom storage, and a peninsula for cooking and service, and space for casual dining. The 2nd floor offers the private family space: a sunlit FR with fireplace and bay window; the Master Suite, with full en-suite; a bdrm; and passage to the 2 large 3rd floor bdrms, with refinished hardwood floors and A/C. This home sits within everything Newton Highlands offers, 3 1/2 blocks from the T; about 1/2 mile from Crystal Lake, with all the shopping and dining in between. Schedule your private showing today.
