Property Description
Price Improvement and OH Sun, 11/8 12-1:30 - Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully updated, this distinctive 1920 Craftsman-style home in Newton Corner offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, and 3,519 sq ft of versatile living space. Blending historic character with modern luxury, the home features a stunning chef's kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and inviting, light-filled living and dining areas ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The second floor includes a spacious primary suite with private bath and walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, a family bath, and convenient laundry. A September 2026 licensed lead inspection found no lead law violations, and a Letter of Full Initial Lead Inspection Compliance was issued. The beautifully finished lower level features a separate entrance, bedroom, full bath, second laundry, family room, and office, offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living or potential ADU-style use, subject to applicable approvals. Discover a truly unique feature: an original 1920 hidden speakeasy wine cellar! Above the detached two-car garage, a finished private-entry flex space with a half bath provides an ideal setting for a professional home office, creative studio, or personal retreat. Two driveways, a fenced yard, professionally designed gardens, and landscape lighting enhance the property's appeal. Ideally situated with convenient access to Boston's Financial District and downtown employment centers, this home offers an appealing balance of suburban living and city connectivity. Express bus service to Boston is just 0.4 miles away, with Newton Centre and Newtonville shopping, dining, and transportation options nearby.
