About this home

Beautiful three bedroom colonial with two full baths in the perfect Newton location. Located right off Boylston St, this home is a quick drive to Downtown Boston and in walking distance to the T Station, while still being situated in a lovely neighborhood. On the first floor you will enter into the dining area opening up into a recently renovated kitchen with Island and stainless steel appliances. The main floor also includes a sun-filled family room and adorable living room with walk-out to an exterior patio, perfect for entertaining. Upstairs features the master bedroom with a walk-in-closet, as well as the other two bedrooms and a renovated full bath with tub and shower. Newer windows, bathrooms and kitchen give this home a modern feel. With beautiful hardwood floors, a spacious and open floorplan, and a huge backyard, this home will certainly not last.
