About this House

Timeless and elegant, 34 Exeter finds a way into the hearts of not only its owners, but family and friends alike. It's the way the morning sun rises across the lush back lawn and illuminates the kitchen throughout every season. It's the curved front door that has guests intrigued from the moment they knock and the one-of-a-kind kitchen window with curved glass. It's the flow of well appointed rooms and the abundance of space that is not overwhelming. It's the gently sloped front yard that elevates the home up from Exeter Street while keeping the side & back yards mostly flat. It's the car-port covered entrance into the side hall where countless greetings and farewells have occurred. It's the meticulous preservation of the grounds. The 7 fireplaces. The copper gutters. The charm of W. Newton Hill. It's the feeling of opportunity that won't return for another 50 years. *Seller reserves the right to accept an offer at any time. Home is occupied.

We love being walking distance to Gath Pool and the fireworks on the fourth. West Newton Square is great place to walk for a date night or a Saturday morning movie with the kids.
