Classic charm and timeless character in the heart of Newton! Built in 1917, this beautiful home offers 1,800 square feet of living space, blending historic appeal with everyday functionality. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and inviting living spaces that reflect the character of a home from another era. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious layout, there's plenty of room to make it your own. **Upstairs, an additional 393-square-foot bonus room offers flexible space for a home office, hobby room, or additional living area. This space is heated and cooled but is not included in the home's reported square footage due to its 6'11" ceiling height.** Additional features include newly installed gutters and a generous .34-acre lot with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Conveniently located near downtown Newton's local shops, restaurants, and community amenities, this home is full of warmth, character, and potential. A wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Newton's history!
