Welcome to Newton Highlands living at its finest. Rebuilt in 2001 from a Victorian charmer, it combines historic character with modern function. Even though it's a condo, it lives and feels like a single family house. No monthly condo fee. The main level's soaring ceilings and wood-burning fireplace create the perfect gathering space, while the cherry and granite chef's kitchen flowing seamlessly to your private rear patio, makes entertaining effortless. Five bedrooms mean room for everyone – including that home office you've been dreaming about. The primary suite is a true retreat with dual walk-in closets, jacuzzi tub, and separate shower. Practical luxury includes two sets of washers/dryers (2nd floor + basement). Refinished hardwood throughout and 2 off-street parking spaces. Almost 1,000 sqft of the unfinished basement for all your storage needs. Steps to Newton Highlands T station, local dining, shopping, and Crystal Lake. This is the lifestyle you've been looking for.
