Ready to be reinvented

This grand Victorian presents an amazing opportunity to create your dream home in the desirable estates area of Newton. This beloved home, in the same family for nearly 50 years, is where stories were shared and fabulous memories were made. It’s now ready to be reimagined and loved some more. The circular driveway welcomes you to the covered, wrap-around porch. The gracious foyer (30’x8’) is flanked by fireplaced parlors with original pocket doors and stained-glass windows. Original moldings, hardwood floors (some parquet), and high ceilings are the foundation from which to modernize this striking home. The 2nd floor offers 4 bedrooms, an office, 2 full baths and a 1/2 bath. On the 3rd floor is another bedroom, full bath and spectacular bonus room (31’x15’). The unfinished basement with 10’ ceilings has further potential to create more living space. Set on a 16,000+ SF lot and with easy access to the Mass Pike, Newton Center and Boston, this home is ready for its next chapter.
