Newton home picture-perfect
We love the anticipation and build-up of a long, circular drive — you just know there’s something special waiting for you at the top. Tucked back from the street behind a crisp front lawn and that aforementioned circular drive, 315 Waverley in Newton is a traditional brick Colonial chock-full of surprises.
First, the home sits on nearly an acre and a half — that’s living large even for Newton standards. The estate encompasses the main house, extensive patio and backyard space, an in-ground pool area, and a two-bedroom carriage house above the five-car garage and pool cabana. The sprawling acreage is matched by more than 8,000 square feet of living space. If it’s grand proportions you’re after, 315 Waverley’s got you covered.
Period character throughout the home harkens back to its 1915 roots, including lovely
millwork, moulding, beams, and paned glass, but the home isn’t stuck in the past. In fact, oversized doorways and picture windows throughout lend a flow and openness to the main living level that feel contemporary.
In addition to an expansive living room with a wood-burning fireplace, the main floor reveals a banquet-sized dining room with a sitting area, a family room lined with a wall of windows and topped with a skylight, and a giant kitchen with a sunny breakfast nook.
The top two floors boast a bonus family room and six bedrooms plus six full baths, including a palatial primary suite with custom walk-in closet.
The estate is on the market for $6,100,000. The sale is represented by Deborah Gordon with Coldwell Banker Realty, 617-974-0404.
