About this home

Classic charm and timeless character in the heart of Newton! Built in 1917, this beautiful home offers 1,800 square feet of living space, blending historic appeal with everyday functionality. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and inviting living spaces that reflect the character of a home from another era.

This space is heated and cooled but is not included in the home's reported square footage due to its 6'11" ceiling height.** Additional features include newly installed gutters and a generous .34-acre lot with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Conveniently located near downtown Newton's local shops, restaurants, and community amenities, this home is full of warmth, character, and potential.
