On a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Newton’s most loved neighborhoods, this mid-century ranch-style home has been cherished by the same family for nearly 60 years. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, & no basement to worry about, the layout is simple, spacious, & sun-filled. The modernized kitchen (2012) has maple cabinets & the Family Room (with laundry hookups) offers options for flexible living! The Garden Room is the show stopper! It has high cathedral ceilings, tons of light & is split into two parts: the Sitting Room and then the Primary Suite. Upgrades include a ducted air source heat pump (2015), 200-amp electrical (2016), solar panels (owned outright) & a 2023 roof. Surrounded by irrigated gardens & patios, you're blocks from the Albemarle Fields, newly improved Gath Swimming Pool, Horace Mann Elementary, Day Middle School & the Charles River Bike Path. Less than 1 mile to Newtonville & West Newton Villages. Easy Access to the Commuter Rail, 95 & the Mass Pike.
