Rich in character, generous in scale and thoughtfully designed for everyday living, this one-of-a-kind Newton residence offers over 4,700 finished square feet with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. It pairs the craftsmanship of a bygone era with the comfort and functionality buyers appreciate today. Step inside to soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, a grand staircase and generously sized rooms that create an immediate sense of openness rarely found in homes of this era. The beautifully updated kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a large center island, gas cooktop and double ovens, opening to a stunning vaulted dining room that naturally brings everyone together. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or working from home. The second floor was designed for comfortable everyday living, offering four bedrooms including a spacious primary suite, three bathrooms and convenient bedroom-level laundry.
