About this home

Gorgeous, two-level, top floor condo on tree-lined street near Newton Corner. This charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit offers the architectural details and modern updates of a private sanctuary. Filled with abundant natural light, wide-pine floors, and historic details, this home has been meticulously updated and maintained inside and out. The main level features arched doorways leading to a spacious kitchen, full bath, dining room, and living room elevated by a gas fireplace, custom-molding, and plantation shutters. The third floor's jewel is the primary bedroom with a custom walk-in closet. A sunny guest bedroom, tumble-tiled full bathroom, and large attic with ample storage complete the interior. The outdoor space is a serene retreat with an exclusive use patio and access to a fenced yard sheltered by a shade tree and surrounded by mature lime green potted hydrangeas. Perfect for relaxing or entertaining, this home is a rare find.
