1920s Waban Colonial ready for its next chapter. Great bones and set on over half an acre in one of Newton’s most desirable locations, this stately 1920s Colonial presents a rare opportunity to remake this home as you imagine. Rich with character, the property showcases stunning original details rarely found today — elegant millwork, beautifully proportioned rooms, transitional arches, and period craftsmanship throughout. The home currently has 4 levels of living including the lower level which "walks-out" to the rear yard. 6 spacious bedrooms and 3 and half baths including a bonus den on the 1st floor and room for expansion given lower level and over-sized lot. Two driveways, one leading to the detached two car garage and another side driveway with grade access to the rear yard. Hardwood floors throughout and rear deck overlooking expansive bucolic private yard. All this and minutes to Waban's center, MBTA, Whole Foods, freeways and Chestnut Hill.
