    What's special

    In the absolute heart of Newton Highlands, this gorgeously updated 1880s Mansard Victorian is less than half a mile to Crystal Lake, the T, Whole Foods, shops & restaurants. With high ceilings and an oversized great room, it lives much larger than it's square footage. The timeless entry leads to a living room with fireplace and a bay window. At the back of the house is the open great room with an updated eat-in kitchen, dining room and sun-splashed family room. This level also has an office ideal for a guest bedroom, a powder room and a huge Azek deck leading to the level yard. Upstairs is the wonderful master bedroom suite with a large bedroom and updated bathroom, along with two more nice bedroom and another updated full bathroom with laundry. The basement offers ample storage space and the updated systems, including a 2018 gas furnace. Amongst many other features, this residence has central air conditioning and a detached two car garage.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
