About this home
Bring your creativity and your contractor! After 47 years of making beautiful family memories - laughing, loving, learning, growing - this solid Newton Highlands Colonial at the end of a cul-de-sac is ready for a new era during which the buyer makes their own dreams come true. The level yard offers both sunny and shady areas for growing gardens or relaxing under trees beside the Koi pond complete with soothing fountain. ~~~~~~~ Built as part of a planned neighborhood in 1926 (yes, 100 years ago!), the three streets of 23 homes comprise a real micro-community, replete with block parties, BBQs and close friendships. Located very near vibrant Newton Highlands and also a pleasant stroll to Waban Square. Very close to the MBTA green line station (Eliot) and easy access to Rtes 128, 9 and 16 make this location a commuter's dream. Nearly new (2017) and extremely desirable Zervas Elementary School is very close by. ~~~~~~~~ Traditional New England colonial with a front-to-back fireplace living room which opens to a cozy sunroom (den/office) for lazy afternoon reading (a large wall of built-in bookcases at your reach). Many period details including French doors, bay window and china cabinet in the dining room. Stunning stained glass windows. A roof-deck off the main bedroom. Plus a two-story, south facing greenhouse, perfect for those who love houseplants (grow a fig tree!). Garage plus plenty of off-street parking. ~~~~~~~~ Solar lease will be paid off and your electricity bills will look very attractive. Priced as-is and taking into consideration that the new owner will be exploring the excellent potential, whether it is to finish the attic/basement, to add up or onto this 7-room house or just renew it to it's original charm and update the condition. ~~~~~~~~ Possibility of a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the side yard. Newer roof, boiler and hot water tank. Gas stove, HW & heat. Whole-house fan. Pull down stairs to attic. See attached Seller's interview, Seller's description of property, plot plan and a Floorplan.
