Step into a beautiful blend of historic charm and extensive modern updates located in Newton’s protected historical district. This remarkable 2 ½ story home features a unique history as a former parsonage and sits in a beautiful neighborhood near schools, shopping, and the library. Because it is nestled within the historical district, this property may be eligible for specialized home upgrade and preservation grants! The main floor showcases detailed, beautiful original woodwork throughout. Elegant French doors lead into a private library, complementing the spacious living room and dedicated main-floor office. The formal dining room features large windows that flood the space with natural light. A highly functional main floor laundry is conveniently located near the full bathroom and the nice kitchen, which features updated PEX plumbing. Upstairs, the second level offers a large master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a bright sunroom perfect for enjoying the mornings. The third story features a massive great room equipped with a cozy wood-burning stove. The exterior boasts a gorgeous, south-facing red brick front porch, a two-car detached garage, cedar fencing near the back deck, mature landscaping, and an included sprinkler system. Additional outdoor features include new gutter covers for easy maintenance and a brand-new flat roof over the back porch. The home has been recently painted and features new front, back, and storm doors that include a 20-year warranty. Major structural and mechanical updates offer total peace of mind: a new heat pump was installed in 2025, furnace coils have been updated, a new structural support beam was professionally installed near the kitchen area, and the basement has been professionally stabilized with piers along the east foundation wall. The existing security system remains with the home.
