About This Home
As of April 2024This stately Tudor style home is perfectly situated atop West Newton Hill with an abundance of natural light accenting tasteful renovations while maintaining historic charm. Enter through the foyer into a large living room centered by a wood burning fireplace with an adjacent sunroom separated by glass pocket doors. The renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream featuring an oversized island, double thick quartz counters, SubZero fridge, Miele dishwasher, 6-burner Thermador stovetop, separate bar area and an eat-in-kitchen. The elegant formal dining room’s natural woodwork was beautifully restored. The two-tiered deck is easily accessible from the kitchen featuring a built-in gas grill overlooking the lushly landscaped yard with mature plantings. The second floor offers 4 bedrooms and 3 renovated full baths with access to the finished attic space ideal for a playroom/sitting area and/or office. A truly spectacular location on a magnificent corner lot with easy access to Downtown Boston.
