97 Cypress St, Newton, MA 02459

This extensively renovated turn-of-century Victorian is like an antique car with a brand new engine. This home is for the savvy buyer who wants the perfect blend of architectural interest AND new construction. The high ceilings, original millwork and old world arches belie the all new HVAC, electric, plumbing, windows and insulation. The modern kitchen faces the original two-tone cedar and ash-floored family room open-plan style. The double parlors and formal dining room with their intricately tiled fireplaces fall either side of the grand staircase in classical style. The french sliding doors from the kitchen open on to a private and level backyard. A spacious and bright lower level boasts large windows and deep window wells. The house is full of natural light and has wonderful tree-top views from the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The wraparound front porch provides the perfect avenue for a welcome reprieve at the end of a long day. Top Newton Center location.
