In a convenient Newton Highlands location only a third of a mile to the village and Green Line, this extensively updated 1890s Mansard Colonial has a beautiful street presence, high ceilings and a flexible floor plan. A covered front porch leads to the welcoming foyer. To the right is a spacious living room with a beamed ceiling, fireplace and French doors to a den which is also well-suited as a family room. Across the foyer is the large dining room with a door to the 2014-updated kitchen with granite counters, a nice pantry and stainless appliances. The kitchen is fully open to the mudroom with a door to the back porch, patio and driveway (located off Erie Street). The kitchen also connects to the den and has a door to the basement with laundry and storage. A powder room completes this level. On the second level are three good bedrooms, a unique storage area and a 2014-updated full bathroom. The third level has two more large bedrooms, the second full bathroom & a mini-kitchenette.
