Located in one of the most coveted neighborhoods of wonderful Waban, and situated on a rare corner lot, this elegant, graceful, stately residence combines the best of an historic, classic New England colonial with contemporary amenities of comfort. Full of timeless charm, delight and confident character, this special, sun-filled home offers openness of space, design and a superb layout. Entertain to your heart’s delight in the formal living room, the grand family room, the conservatory, or the lush, sprawling gardens. Near the finest schools, parks, houses of worship, public transportation and major highways, and all that beautiful Newton has to offer. Two-car garage to boot. Simply gorgeous and convenient. Note: Public showings begin at Open House on Saturday, November 2nd, 10 am-1 pm when we will be catering bagels and lox from our own Rosenfeld’s Bagels, and fresh coffee and pastries from the South End Buttery. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
