Set in one of Newton’s most picturesque locations, this stunning contemporary lakefront home was masterfully designed and built in 2011. Showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and breathtaking four-season views of Crystal Lake, it has been featured on HGTV’s Best of Houses with Curb Appeal, Custom Builder magazine, and the 2014 Newton House Tour. The thoughtfully designed interior boasts a dramatic living room and stylish office, both with spectacular lake views, along with a sleek kitchen featuring a spacious island, Vermont slate countertops, and an eat-in area. Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers tranquil lake views from both the bedroom and bath, accompanied by three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room. The lower level provides a comfortable family room and an entertaining room. Just a short scenic stroll to Newton Centre or Newton Highlands, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind lakefront property which blends design, luxury, and comfort.
