Rarely does a home preserve its original craftsmanship with this level of care. Lovingly crafted in the early 1930s during the ownership of one of Newton Junction's historic entrepreneurial families, this stately Dutch Colonial showcases stunning natural wood trim, original doors and remarkably preserved millwork throughout the first floor. It has been said that the home's extraordinary woodwork was hand-hewn from timber harvested from the property. A sun-filled four-season room welcomes you into the inviting living room featuring a striking oak mantel with wood stove insert. The gracious floor plan flows into the elegant dining room with its impressive built-in oak hutch, complete with a charming hand-painted mural tucked inside. The bright, updated kitchen features granite counters, tile backsplash, farmhouse sink and a built-in breakfast nook overlooking the spectacular backyard. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary with double closets, along with a thoughtfully renovated full bath that blends timeless style with modern comfort. The walk-out basement provides excellent storage, workshop space, and a garage bay. Outside, the park-like grounds create a private garden retreat with mature landscaping, pergolas and perennial gardens. This is an idyllic setting for entertaining or enjoying every season. Ideally located within walking distance to elementary school and public charter school, this exceptional home blends historic elegance with everyday convenience. An ideal commuter location within five miles of the Massachusetts border, it is also just minutes from Newton Town Beach, shopping and restaurants. From the extraordinary craftsmanship within to the enchanting gardens beyond, every inch of this remarkable property has been thoughtfully preserved to create a home that stands as a rare testament to craftsmanship, enduring character, and timeless New England charm.
