Tucked away at the end of a quiet, leafy street in sought-after Newton Highlands, this charming split-level offers character and versatile living across multiple levels. Sunlight pours through a large picture window in the living room, highlighting a warm brick fireplace. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and, via sliding glass doors, out to a beautifully designed backyard retreat. A convenient half-bath completes the main level. The upper-level features three bedrooms with hardwood floors and a modern full bath with a double vanity and tub/shower. In the flexible, updated mid-level space, find a private home office with custom built-in bookshelves, a second full bath with shower, direct garage access as well as a separate entrance.

Outside, an expansive stone patio with built-in seating sets the stage for entertaining or relaxing al fresco. With thoughtfully designed spaces across multiple levels, this home offers privacy and flexibility to accommodate today’s lifestyle. Conveniently located near Countryside Elementary (newly renovated 1/2027), Brown Middle School and Newton South High School.
