Property Description

This lovely Arts & Crafts-style residence, with beautiful original woodwork and architectural details, is conveniently located in Newton Centre on the Carriage Lane. An expansive enclosed front porch opens to a gracious foyer that flows into an oversized living room with a fireplace and a beamed ceiling, and continues into a spacious dining room with built-ins. The renovated eat-in kitchen, appointed with top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinets, overlooks the lush, level backyard with a patio and an in-ground swimming pool. Also found on the first level are a mudroom and laundry room off the kitchen, a family room/office that could also be used as a guest bedroom, and a renovated full bathroom. An elegant staircase leads to the second level comprised of a wonderful primary bedroom suite with a renovated bathroom. Three other spacious bedrooms, and a renovated bathroom complete this level. Further enhancing this property are gleaming hardwood floors, a porte cochere, a detached two-car garage, gas systems, and easy access to the Mason-Rice School, the “T”, Newton Centre shops and restaurants, and major routes.
