West Newton NeighborhoodAbout This Home
As of May 2019Classic Colonial on West Newton Hill has graciously proportioned rooms. The large windows allow for brilliant sunlight throughout. There is a spacious foyer leading to the living room with fireplace and dining room with corner china cabinet. The large eat-in kitchen will need some updating. A wonderful old style wood paneled family room leads to a screen porch for summer evening dinners. A large master bedroom and bath, a family bath and two other large bedrooms complete the second floor. Excellent storage space. Currently there is an enclosed room in what was the second bay of the two car garage. See floor plan. Next to Peirce School and a short walk to the commuter bus, this house could be all that you are looking for with a lovely professionally landscaped level yard.
