About This Home

As of April 2021

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED. Cookie Cutter? Perish the thought! This is your chance to break out of the "4 square walls and a slab of granite" condo doldrums. Plant your flag in one of Newton's only Brownstone-esque buildings, built in the 1920's when craftsmen had the time and patience to build back better. Treat yourself to dreamy, mood lifting sunset views over the endless western horizon. Thru the custom kitchen window that fills the whole wall, you see the sky as art in motion. Exposed brick in the BR is lit by an art nouveau styled window facing south. This sun-filled corner unit offers a terrific LR/DR with 9ft ceilings, a lovely FP mantle & an 11ft corner radius w/ 3 original curved glass windows. An archway leads to an oversized, updated kitchen w/ SS appliances featuring new Bosch gas stove. Bonus pantry area & prep counter. Ample closets & 2 walk-ins for in-unit storage. Laundry and private, lockable, walk in storage in bsmt. Parking included.
