A welcoming front foyer with coat closet leads to the sun-filled living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and hardwood floors, while the adjoining sunroom/enclosed porch overlooks the beautiful backyard. A formal dining room with built-in china cabinet, an eat-in kitchen offering abundant cabinetry and counter space, and direct access to the brick patio, along with a convenient first-floor half bath, complete the main level. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer generous closet space, along with a tiled full bath with a tub. Additional highlights include an attached one-car garage, walkout basement, and a spacious backyard with mature trees and plantings. Conveniently located near Newton Centre schools, shops, restaurants, parks, the Green Line T, and major routes. An exceptional place to call home in one of Newton's most desirable neighborhoods.
