Listing broker remarks

Rebuilt from the ground up in 2026, this Royal Barry Wills Cape offers all the feel of new construction — brand-new roof, siding, and systems, renewed windows, and a full structural redesign — while preserving its timeless charm. Two primary suites — one on the first floor — give this home an edge other Newton houses can't match. An open two-story foyer welcomes you in. High ceilings and abundant natural light streaming through big windows give the entire home an extremely bright, airy feeling. The home was designed to live wide rather than tall: generous, open floors with no third-story climb at the end of the day. The first-floor suite has a walk-in closet, an office nook, and a spa bath wrapped floor to ceiling in marble-look tile — a genuine primary bedroom rather than a converted study. Upstairs, a second primary suite with double vanities, plus additional bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath. The main level opens around a chef's kitchen with quartz counters, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized island with a built-in microwave drawer, flowing into the dining room and a living room with a fireplace and TV-ready wall, made for entertaining flowing into the dining room and a living room with a fireplace and TV-ready wall, made for entertaining. A beautiful half bath on the first floor serves guests. Brand-new gleaming hardwood floors throughout. Second-floor laundry. Central air and heat. Below, the partial basement serves as a home gym, with additional crawl space. The oversized garage has EV charging, remote doors, and a high ceiling; out back, a fully fenced yard with a paver patio and mature plantings. A quiet Newton Upper Falls street canopied by old-growth trees, minutes to Route 9 and I-95, and a short walk to the Green Line at Eliot — just two streets away. With access to Newton's highly ranked schools — Angier or Zervas Elementary, Brown Middle, and Newton South High.— Quintess Real Estate
