A lovely, comfortable and cozy Cotswold Colonial style, 4 bedroom home on a quiet, dead end street in a very diverse and friendly neighborhood (community garden, holiday carols, etc.).
This one-quarter acre property is only a 10-minute walk to Newton Centre shops and the Newton Centre T stop (public transit), and just 4 houses away from conservation land. The house is within easy walking distance of Bowen Elementary School; about 2 miles from Oak Hill and Brown Middle Schools and Newton South High School; and a one mile walk to Boston College. Many other area universities, including Harvard, MIT, Wellesley, Boston University, Northeastern, Brandeis, Babson, Simmons, Emerson, Wentworth and many others are within an 8 mile radius (about a twenty minute drive). Most of these are also accessible by public transportation that you can walk to from the house.
The main floor has an eat-in kitchen with natural cherry recessed wood and glass panel cabinets, modern appliances with a brand new smooth surface electric cooktop and oven; a living room with a working fireplace and French doors that open onto a deck and the back yard; a wainscoted dining room; a sunny library, a mud room with washer and dryer and a half-bath. The kitchen also opens onto a screened-in porch and the deck.
