Description

Fantastic opportunity to live directly adjacent to the Charles River Greenway in Newtonville (Newton North HS District). A corner lot, located at the end of a tree lined Thaxter and Parkway. The 4th picture (from open concept dining room/ kitchen) directly views out to the Charles River Greenway w/ walking, biking trails, left towards Waltham and right to Boston. This is a very updated, charming cape style home that underwent a substantial renovation in 2018. And with a newly designed floor plan on each level, this home can easily absorb simple updates/ additional appointments though currently in 100% move-in condition. . There are three (3) uniquely styled and adequately spaced 2nd floor bedrooms w/ closet/crawl space for storage, double closets in the master bedroom with master bath, hardwoods throughout both levels, and still with 4th bedroom/ office possibilities on the 1st floor bedroom. Mini splits in each bedroom / common area and a one car garage w/ mudroom side entrance.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from November 27, 2024

    "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..."
