1245 Commonwealth Ave, Newton, MA 02465

Formerly known as Wauwinet Farm and the home of George H. Ellis, this enchanting Colonial Revival home was built in 1870 and sits on a private, well landscaped 18,470 SF lot along the Carriage Lane of Commonwealth Avenue. There is 3000+ SF of interior living area on three main levels including five bedrooms and three and two half bathrooms. The basement is finished with two additional rooms. Beautiful views of mature trees and plantings are captured from the large living room and glass enclosed sunroom. The large patio offers the ease of al fresco dining during the warm weather months. The family size kitchen has a center island and a large eating area. The rooms are bright and airy and the floor plan allows for a wonderful flow throughout the house. Much of the original character remains but there have been many modern updates over time. Close to Cambridge and major routes. Nearby Commuter Rail offers easy commute to Boston.
