The building was substantially renovated to the gut in 2014, and the owners continue putting meticulous care into it. Imagine entering an immaculately designed unit where an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area greets you. The kitchen features brand-new appliances, beautifully complemented by abundant natural light. Picture yourself enjoying the warmth of a classy fireplace or stepping out onto an oversized deck. The vaulted ceilings on the 3rd floor, not only adding to the grandeur of the property, but also creating an impression of a larger space. Capitalizing on the generous 0.38 land, this property offers beautiful meadow spaces and abundant parkings. Proximity to the highly praised Newton public schools: Countryside Elementary (.3 mile), Oak Hill Middle (1.2 miles), and Newton South High (1.2 miles). The area includes Newton Highland MBTA (.5 mile), RT 9 and 95, and Newton Highlands Playground (playground, tennis court, baseball, and football fields).
