The primary bedroom on the second floor has cathedral ceilings, an en-suite bathroom, and space to curl up and read a book. There are three additional bedrooms and another full bathroom on this level as well. The basement is partially finished and has plenty of space for your storage needs. Recent updates include a new fence for backyard privacy, new roof and solar panels, new Bosch heating system, and ductless mini-split AC units for summer comfort. All of this in a convenient location just a short distance from the Newton Highlands "T", Route 9 and other commuting routes, and close to local shops, cafes, restaurants and parks.
