Set back as a private sanctuary, this exceptional new construction blends sophisticated design with elite functionality. Located 0.8 miles from Newton Centre’s premier shops and transit, and moments from Bowen Elementary, the location is unparalleled. A radiant foyer leads to a grand dining room and gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized waterfall quartz island. The formal living room includes plumbing for an effortless first-floor suite conversion, if desired, while the family room features a stately fireplace and coffered ceilings. Four bedroom suites feature private en-suite baths, led by a primary sanctuary boasting dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, and a radiant-heated spa bath. A versatile third floor serves as a lounge or office. The walk-out lower level offers a private entrance, full bed/bath, gym, and massive great room. Outside, a patio overlooks a pristine 12,000+ sq ft yard.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 7,523 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 12,169 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
