About This Home

As of September 2023

One-of-a-kind property on a spectacular lot in one of Newton’s most desirable estate areas offering easy access to Boston/Cambridge/Logan. Echo Cottage, circa 1870, is a warm and welcoming, treasured family home w/ 4BR, 2.5 BA, attached garage (w/storage loft) and fabulous covered porch overlooking an expansive, private backyard with mature trees and plantings. Serenity in the city! Unique charm and character including period millwork, built-ins, fireplace, classic hardwood flooring. Spacious living and dining rooms plus oversized kitchen w/ pantry and deck access encourage gatherings; cozy den and study create balance of quieter spaces. While roof, boiler and hot water are new, the home needs updating and offers a new owner the option to simply modernize or to significantly expand the home. Neighborhood is characterized by far more expensive properties so improvements are well supported. A+ location near schools, local shops & restaurants of NCenter, NVille, I-90. Ward/Underwood, NNHS
