Super great location on a side street in the Nonantum/West Newton area off Cailfornia Street.

The house has a large fireplaced living room and it boasts a second fireplace in the basement. The basement has a built-in bar and sitting area to go with the fireplace. The kitchen may need to be updated but next to it is a beautiful and unique office/den area which can stay as an office or be converted to expand the kitchen. The detached garage has a screened porch which faces the back of the house and the driveway is long enough for 3 or 4 cars not including the garage.The side lot is currently being used as a garden and has a lot of potential for many other uses.

The carnival is always a good time for the community to get together over the summer and just getting coffee at the dunks you will see a familiar happy face everyday!!"

    "Newton is an excellent city to live in. Because its a large city (85K population) it has a large offering of amenities for all types of residents from an excellent public library, senior housing and activities/transportation, and excellent schools. But yet it is divided into 13 villages so you never feel like you're in a large city. You get the suburban feel with the urban amenities only 5 miles to Boston. Public transportation is excellent with bus, rail, and subway throughout. I've been living here since 1991 and working as an agent for 14 years. Would be happy to discuss details with any prospective residents..."
