    What's special

    Great opportunity to buy into one of Newton's most historic villages known for its excellent schools, scenic recreation areas and walk-able terrain. This lovely 3 bed room gambrel last sold in 1956 and is in move in condition. Extremely well maintained with an easy flowing floor plan, the home offers numerous possibilities should the owner desire to do some updating. An eat-in kitchen, formal dining area, living room, hardwood flooring and a newly installed full bath complete the first floor. 3 bed rooms and a second full bath round out the second floor. Updated electric and new central air and gas heating systems. Driveway parking for two cars and a barn which can used for either storage, or additional vehicles complete the package. Outstanding access to the commuter rail, express bus, 128/95, Comm Ave and the Mass Pike truly make this location a commuters dream! All within walking distance of everything Auburndale has to offer and minutes away from downtown Boston.
