Sometimes, what you see is not what you get – in all the best ways! From the street, 33 Manchester Road presents as a tasteful traditional Colonial, blending nicely with its neighbors. But when you cross the threshold and go inside, the house performs a kind of magic trick. It transforms into a modern masterpiece, echoing the California roots of its longtime owners. Open, comfortable first floor living spaces flow naturally one to another. Lots of glass in all the right places, filling the home with light even as it nestles in a grove of leafy trees (another magic trick!) A big screen porch that embraces and celebrates the lovely site, garden and woods intertwined, indoors and outdoors constantly interacting. With four real bedrooms and an expansive home office space upstairs, this Newton Highlands residence manages the neatest trick of all: big enough for the whole family, perfect for gatherings, but cozy enough for empty nesting. In other words, it’s just right.
