This wonderfully inviting 1910 home features a thoughtful 2001 addition and many updates from 2013. The gracious layout is very flexible. The first floor features an inviting eat-in kitchen which overlooks a picture-perfect professionally landscaped garden; a dining or family room; and a spacious living room with adjacent office/sunroom. The second floor features three bedrooms including a serene master suite with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light. The 2001 addition also features a guest suite/private office with private entrance and bath- which could be a splendid au pair suite.  Thoughtful improvements in 2013 include a new gas heating system, new windows, additional shower, attic insulation/flooring with new attic access. Newly refinished floors and full interior painting complete this outstanding home.  Coveted location near the Bowen Elementary school and just a short walk to Newton Center MBTA and the new Chestnut Hill Sq shopping center.
