About this home

Delightful Edwardian Arts and Crafts Colonial offering a refined blend of period craftsmanship, understated luxury, and modern comfort in a coveted Newton Centre location. A substantial 2009 renovation introduced updated systems, new roof, new windows, central air conditioning, beautifully appointed bathrooms, and extensive hardscaping and landscaping, while preserving the home's rich architectural character. Gracious living and dining rooms, an inviting family room, a heated and conditioned sunroom, a mudroom with lavatory, and a thoughtfully customized kitchen with butler's pantry comprise the first floor. The second level offers a primary bedroom, an ensuite au pair bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, while two versatile third-floor bonus rooms provide ideal spaces for home offices or fitness. Exceptional finishes distinguish the interiors, including quarter-sawn wood flooring, rich mahogany detailing and mantel, rare period artisan fireplace tiles, limed oak paneling, white lacquered mahogany kitchen cabinetry, and terra cotta flooring imported from Provence. A premium NuVo Grand Concerto audio system and custom bedroom closet systems further enhance everyday comfort. Outdoors, a beautiful grove of towering mature evergreens creates a serene, almost woodland-like setting-a peaceful natural retreat in the heart of Newton Centre. A direct-entry tandem two-car garage connects to an expansive unfinished basement offering excellent potential for additional living space. Ideally situated in immediate proximity to Mason-Rice School, Crystal Lake, Whole Foods and Newton Centre's vibrant shops, restaurants and amenities.
