This charming Cape is in a fabulous Newton Centre neighborhood: it is close to the schools, public transportation (bus and T stops), shopping, houses of worship, and commuting routes. The house is in move-in condition and sits on a level lot and features on the first floor a spacious foyer, living room, kitchen, dining room, a full (updated) bath, and two bedrooms (one with stackable washer/dryer in closet). Two large bedrooms with walk-in closets and a second full bath are on the second floor. The lower level has a finished family room, a second laundry area, and a utility room with bulkhead access to the backyard. There is a newer deck accessible from the kitchen and is a perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors. The lot is level and has a manageable footprint which means easy maintenance. This home is a great entry point for buyers seeking Newton and is a must-see!
