    What's special

    The AMAZING Bigelow House Condo Complex is home to this beautifully restored/updated oversized two-level unit! Atop a tall hill and situated on five acres of grassy lawn surrounded by thick woods, the incredible restoration/renovation was the work of the "THIS OLD HOUSE" crew in their 2nd TV season! Bob Villa, Norm Abrams, and the entire crew created 5 truly special and elegant condo units from what was originally a very large 1880s home designed by world-renowned architect H.H. Richardson. Many of the late 19th century building elements and details are intact, and the result is five spectacular units, of which #80 (an end unit) is the 2nd largest and perhaps the most stunning, architecturally and aesthetically. A great chef's kitchen, grand sunken living room with massive stone fireplace, cozy sunroom, 2 bedrooms (both with en suite baths), and beautifully kept expansive grounds. A one-car detached garage. In the heart of Newton. Convenient to highways, Boston, restaurants, and shops!
