Nestled off Commonwealth Ave on a quiet block, this Colonial home is a blend of classic charm and modern comfort. With two levels of hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light, it offers an elegant living room, bright dining area, and an expansive, renovated kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances and an oversized island with seating. An open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen to a secondary dining area and sun-filled family room, with triple-sealed windows and access to a spacious backyard and patio. Adjacent undeveloped public land is a bonus green space for activities! Upstairs, find four bedrooms, including a large primary suite with a full bath, double closets, and wall speakers. Functional features on the first floor include a fireplace, laundry room, an attached one-car garage, and a study (or bedroom) with a separate entrance. Proximity to schools, grocery stores, Newton Center's restaurants, parks, and access to the green line add to the appeal of this gem.
