Property Description
Impressive 5-bedroom, 3-bath single-family home offering exceptional space, flexibility, and a huge lot in desirable Newton. With a versatile layout across three levels, this home provides plenty of room for everyday living, entertaining, working from home, and hosting guests. Generously sized rooms, abundant natural light, and hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout. The private third-floor primary suite creates a peaceful retreat, while four additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, offices, or hobbies. The updated eat-in kitchen offers generous counter and cabinet space and was renovated in 2021, creating a functional heart of the home with plenty of room to gather. All three bathrooms were renovated in 2020. Additional improvements include a new water heater in 2025 and an updated boiler in 2025, providing peace of mind for the next owner. First-floor laundry adds everyday convenience, while multiple living spaces allow the floor plan to evolve with your needs. Step outside and discover one of the home's most remarkable features: the expansive lot. The wraparound porch offers another inviting spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. A detached garage with loft space provides valuable additional storage and potential workshop space, while multiple-car parking adds convenience. An exciting improvement is also underway nearby: a new approximately 25-foot-high sound wall is being installed, providing a substantial new buffer between the property and the roadway and helping reduce roadway noise. Located in Newton's Auburndale neighborhood, the home offers a wonderful combination of neighborhood living and accessibility, just one block from Williams Elementary.
