About This Home

As of December 2015

Don't miss this beautifully maintained Ranch in the Waban section of Newton. Built in 1950 and substantially renovated in 1996 just prior to the current owner taking occupancy. More recent improvements include a new roof, gas boiler, and A/C condenser. The main level includes a large living room with a charming fireplace, an eat-in kitchen overlooking the yard and deck, a formal dining room, and a paneled family room with custom built-ins. In addition, the house includes 3 bedrooms, including a Master with full bath, on the main level and a 4th bedroom in the lower level. The finished lower level provides flexible spaces to accommodate different needs; currently, there is an office, exercise room (4th bedroom), game room, and huge bonus room with lovely wood paneling. Relax on your deck or screened porch or walk over to Cold Spring Park, Waban Village (T stop), or Whole Foods. This is a great house in a great location. Move in ready!
