Live in Luxury in a restored mansion on Newtons best street, Linwood Avenue. No Commission, Heat included.
Tired of looking at run down apartments with tired old kitchens, baths, unhealthy carpet, mold issues or flipper houses that were intended to be rentals using cheap fixtures, appliances & materials?

Compare every aspect of this home to every thing else on the market and you will immediately see the difference. Our photos are "reality based" and not exaggerated. Location, location, location!

It is located on the nicest street in Newton, up on the hill, away from noise and traffic. It is a safe professional neighborhood with very little commotion. You can walk into town and are centrally located close to all shopping amenities, schools and hospital. You are only 10 minutes away from both Route 80 and 15. If you have an eye for detail, you will appreciate all that has gone into this space. This 2nd floor space has nine foot ceilings, a fantastic great room with a working fire place and has undergone complete top to bottom attention. The larger room has oak flooring, restoration glass, custom Ben Moore paint, great natural light and great views. The original top nailed floors look like glass.
