A rare chance to plant roots in Newton at an accessible price point. This well-maintained Cape is move-in ready and livable — and you can envision expansion possibilities. A corner lot with an ample yard, attached garage, and unfinished basement offer a strong foundation to grow. Inside, recently refinished hardwood floors, a comfortable living and dining room, four bedrooms across two floors, two full baths, and a wonderful sun-filled screened porch for three-season enjoyment make for easy day-one living. All this in one of Newton's most convenient neighborhoods — moments from all school levels, Newton Centre, the T and MBTA bus lines, the Longwood Medical Area, and downtown Boston. This is the Newton foothold that rarely comes available.
