About This Home

Bright, cheerful 1890 Victorian on coveted West Newton Hill with sweeping sunset views and front-row seats to Fourth of July fireworks. Spanning 4,510 SF and thoughtfully updated, the main level features an inviting foyer, view-filled living room, formal dining room, spacious eat-in kitchen with pantry, large family room with radiant floors, and a powder room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The 2nd floor includes a primary suite, 2 generously sized bedrooms, and family bath. The 3rd level offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for guests, offices, or play. The finished lower level is a standout feature, offering a private two-bedroom in-law suite with its own entrance, kitchen, and laundry—perfect for extended family, an au pair, or strong income potential.
