This finely crafted Victorian home on West Newton Hill, boasts architecturally interesting details, high quality materials, and a flexible floor plan. The builder of this unique home, a lumber merchant, selected varied and distinctive woods for the flooring and trim work. Other special features include leaded & stained glass windows, pocket doors, wainscoting, curved rooms and multiple fireplaces. The first floor offers flexibility for large-scale entertaining and intimate family gatherings. The grand foyer opens to a gracious living room and banquet-sized dining room. Highlights include an updated spacious eat-in kitchen and a beautiful, light-filled sunroom overlooking the manicured gardens. Via a separate entrance, the third floor provides a valuable extension of the home's functionality - for an apartment, office space, or au pair suite. Convenient to Peirce school, W. Newton Sq with restaurants and shops, commuter bus & train to Boston and Mass Pike. First showings at Open House.
