Set between the Newton Highlands and Waban villages, approximately 3/4 of a mile to both, this home is under 1/2 a mile to Eliot T station and Zervas Elementary School and around the corner from walking trails that access Cold Spring Park. Well maintained 1939 Colonial in need of updating. Off the foyer is a spacious living room with abundant natural light and a wood-burning fireplace, opening to a dining room with a door to the three-season sunroom. Both the foyer and dining room lead to the kitchen with painted wood cabinets and updated appliances. The kitchen has a door to a covered side porch with steps to the yard, patio and a rear door to the garage. A powder room off the foyer completes this level. Upstairs are four bedrooms, three are large and one is smaller. There are also two linen closets, a full bathroom and a door off the landing leads to the walk-up attic, currently offering storage and with expansion potential. Presently unfinished, the lower level includes laundry and abundant storage and good ceiling height. There are 3 mini split heads, two on the first floor and one in the primary bedroom for AC and supplemental heat. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a charming livable home with a functional floor plan in one of Newton's most coveted neighborhoods with fantastic upside potential and lots of opportunity to add value.
