About This Property

40 Shornecliffe Road offers an exceptional opportunity to own a turnkey Colonial in Newton Corner. Original architectural details, including crown moldings and beautiful stained glass, have been carefully preserved, showcasing a level of craftsmanship and character rarely found in newer construction. A grand foyer welcomes you into an elegant main level featuring gracious living and dining rooms, two fireplaces, and a spectacular chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, premium appliances, and a generous center island. The kitchen opens to a charming wraparound farmer's porch, inviting effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, six bedrooms across the second and third floors include a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bath, dressing room, and walk-in closet, offering exceptional flexibility for guests and home office needs. The finished lower level provides additional versatility with a media room, game room, and bar, ideal for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. Recent improvements, including a new heating system and hot water heater in 2025, offer added peace of mind. Outside, a fully fenced backyard with low-maintenance turf creates an inviting setting for outdoor living. A detached two-car garage with convenient access to a mudroom completes the offering. A beautifully balanced home where classic architecture meets modern comfort, ideally located in one of Newton's most desirable neighborhoods.
