Imagine a place with a suburban feel and urban vibe. Where nationally recognized schools both public (Newton North HS) and private (Fessenden) are a few blocks away; shops, restaurants, libraries and leafy parks are right around the corner. Where every April, marathoners make the journey up “heartbreak hill” just down the street. Where one can be to Boston in a matter of minutes, to Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and the beautiful Berkshire’s in under two hours. That place is Newton, Massachusetts. Situated in the sought after neighborhood of West Newton Hill, this stunning Colonial offers a bright modern kitchen and breakfast nook with skylights ushering in all-day sun; an expansive deck and landscaped yard; a fireplaced living room, sun splashed study a formal dining room and the primary bedroom boasts a custom bath and walk-in cedar closet. Lower level with full bath is ideal for a spacious home office suite. Heated driveway, Open House Sunday 3/5 1:00 PM-4:00 PM
