Property Description

Elegant simplicity and classic symmetry characterize this distinctive mansard-roof Second Empire style home. Ideally sited on its flat, half-acre West Newton Hill lot, it looks out on an expansive sunny front lawn and a secluded shady back garden. From the entrance foyer you see the bright daylight that floods the large living room, a dining room, and the long staircase to the second floor. The kitchen with its soap stone countertops invites you to prepare your next Thanksgiving dinner. There are a Nantucket-style breakfast room and a true mudroom ready for action. The four second floor bedrooms are charming, and on the third floor are two more bedrooms and a big high-ceiling Great room with large windows on three sides. A quintessential New England home.
