Listing broker remarks

Elegant center-entrance Colonial with five bedrooms, set on a level, landscaped lot in one of Newton's most sought-after locations. A slate roof and a gracious foyer with curved staircase set the tone for this home where period character and thoughtful updates blend seamlessly. The first floor offers a fireplaced living room and formal dining room, a chef's kitchen with granite island and Sub-Zero/Viking appliances, a home office and half-bath, and a 3-season porch leading to a 2-car garage. Upstairs, the five bedrooms include a primary suite with walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and built-in window seat, plus a guest suite with full bath accessible via a bookshelf door or a separate staircase. The finished lower level adds a fireplaced family room plus storage, and a workshop with walkout access. A 2-tier deck with gas grill hookup overlooks the fenced backyard. Close to Route 9, I-95/128, and the VFW Parkway, with a quick walk to the MBTA bus and local middle and high schools.— Albina's Realty
