About This Property

JUST COMPLETED! Set in coveted West Newton Hill, this newly constructed residence pairs the enduring elegance of classic brick architecture with a distinctly contemporary sensibility. Inside, richly layered finishes, custom millwork, and carefully considered architectural details create interiors defined by warmth, proportion, and craftsmanship. Gracious living and dining rooms transition into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring premium appliances, inset cabinetry, a dramatic waterfall island, scullery, and walk-in pantry. The adjoining family room, anchored by a fireplace and custom built-ins, overlooks landscaped grounds and a covered patio, while floor-to-ceiling windows envelop the breakfast area in natural light. A versatile first-floor suite or office with patio access, generous mudroom, and heated garage complete the main level. Upstairs, four ensuite bedrooms include a private primary retreat distinguished by a fireplace, custom built-ins, beverage bar, luxurious bath, walk-in closet, and private balcony. The finished lower level extends the living space with a lounge, bar, guest suite, and gym.
