This rare and special property is available for the first time in 35 years! A near acre parcel surrounded by mature growth trees perched above a quiet dead-end street overlooking Newton’s largest conservation area, Webster Woods, just 2 blocks from the heart of Newton Center, and less than 15 minutes from downtown Boston. A prime location with great convenience and proximity to everywhere in the Greater Boston area. This wonderfully designed contemporary family home has 6 bedrooms and an office with 4 full and 1 half baths. The thoughtful layout of the home has some unique features including: a 2-room en-suite 1st floor bedroom, a 2nd 1st floor bedroom, as well as a dedicated study/office; a large double-height great room and dining room are the heart of the home that function perfectly for hosting large gatherings and holiday celebrations with family and friends; and on the 2nd floor there is a huge private primary suite with soaring ceilings, a large en-suite bathroom with steam shower and soaking tub, and a generous light-filled walk-in closet. The primary suite does NOT share any walls with any of the other bedrooms or living spaces providing for maximum privacy. The property itself is uncommonly desirable for its size and privacy, as well as its zoning. The home is not subject to historical review/control and allows for as much as 12,500SF above grade, so future owners have tremendous liberty to renovate and/or expand to make this home and property ideally suited to their taste and needs. A truly exceptional place for you and your loved ones to make your home for many years to come!
