Completely remodeled and situated on approximately 2 wooded acres, this unique 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Newton home offers privacy, character, and extensive updates. The home was gutted down to the exterior walls, trusses, and foundation, with nearly everything else replaced. Updates include new electrical wiring, fixtures and panel, plumbing, tankless water heater, AC, windows, spray foam and blown in insulation, drywall, flooring, trim and doors. Additional improvements include LP siding, roof and gutters in 2025, plus a new furnace, approximately 20 feet of replaced foundation wall, sump pit and pump, and stone veneer in 2026. Inside, enjoy a flexible floor plan, generous kitchen cabinetry and counter space, built in shelving, and a spacious walk in closet. The impressive primary bath features dual barn doors, a custom antique dresser converted into a double vanity, tiled floors, laundry area, and fully tiled walk in shower with rainfall shower head. Wide black trim and solid wood doors add distinctive style throughout. Outside, the L shaped acreage offers a surprisingly wooded setting with a natural tunnel like trail and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. All kitchen appliances, washer, and dryer included.
