About this home

The first floor features a fireplaced living room with bay windows, formal dining room with built-in china cabinet and crown moldings, and a center-island kitchen with stainless appliances that opens to a sun-filled breakfast area with wet bar and a comfortable family room with gas fireplace. Deck overlooking the manicured yard and detached two-car garage. Second floor offers four bedrooms including a primary suite and laundry. Third floor with two bedrooms, full bath and kitchenette ideal for guests or in-law space. Finished walk-out lower level. Walk to schools, Newtonville shops, restaurants and commuter rail. A must see!
