A dining room and half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find a front-to-back primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath. The partially finished lower level provides extra living space, perfect for a family room or home office. Enjoy the central air conditioning, garage, and fenced-in yard with a bluestone patio that is ideal for outdoor gatherings. Zoned MR1, this home is in a prime Newton location with fantastic access to downtown Boston and Cambridge, and just around the corner from the new Lincoln-Eliot Elementary School in its new location to be open Fall 2025.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
