Set in one Newton's most prestigious neighborhoods, this 1920s brick Colonial SF offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths. Enjoy unparalleled luxury with soaring windows, beautiful hardwood floors, stunning original millwork throughout, and multiple grand fireplaces. The main level starts off to impress at the main entrance, with a stately front brick porch with grand columns that opens to a magnificent entry foyer with high ceiling and stunning wood milling and wainscotting. The high-end finishes continue to an elegant living room, with exposed beam tray ceiling, beautiful arched windows, and a grand fireplace. The formal dining is wrapped in custom wood millwork, with entryway and window arches. The very well-appointed kitchen dazzles with exposed wood beams and brick, high end appliances and well-thought out workflow including a large kitchen island and a refined butler’s pantry.
