Description
Step into a residence where history, craft, and architectural prestige converge. This magnificent 1895 New England estate sits on an expansive, 1.24 acre lot in the heart of coveted Newton Centre. Once the private residence of legendary Boston architect Charles Collens (mastermind behind Newton City Hall and NYC's The Met Cloisters), this stately 5,145-square foot home beautifully marries turn-of-the-century structural grandeur with timeless elegance and modern comfort. A striking brick, stone and wood siding exterior opens to a sprawling three-story floor plan defined by soaring ceilings, rich period mill work, and a dramatic network of classic brick fireplaces. The grand living spaces transition seamlessly to the lush, private grounds, offering a rare sanctuary of open rolling lawn and mature trees. The property has a private elevator, central air and beautifully updated kitchen and baths. The private grounds evoke the charm of a European country estate, featuring custom stone work, established garden beds and sweeping lawn expanses. A rare offering that marries historic significance with endless potential and plenty of room for a pool and tennis court. Complete with a detached carriage style garage, this landmark property offers an unrepeatable opportunity to own a piece of Newton's design legacy just moments from Boston, upscale dining, shopping, and top-tier schools-offering an exceptionally rare balance of historic significance and prime location.
