In a wonderful Newtonville/Nonantum location under a half mile to Horace-Mann Elementary and Day Middle School, this property awaits your vision. This location is also exceptionally convenient to the walking/biking paths around the Charles River, and an easy commute to Boston or Cambridge. The existing Colonial-style house is presently in poor condition and uninhabitable, partly due to the bathroom plumbing being non-functional. It sits on a level 6,931 square foot lot zoned MR1 in a lovely neighborhood. No open houses; accompanied showings only. On the first level is the living room with a fireplace and a separate dining room, plus the eat-in kitchen. On the second level is a large primary bedroom, two more good-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The basement houses the systems, storage, laundry and direct entry to the one car garage. There is a presently-overgrown nice, level backyard. Great project for a builder or end-user comfortable with a complete rehab.
