Set back from the road as a private sanctuary, this exceptional new construction blends sophisticated design with elite functionality. Located 0.8 miles from Newton Centre’s premier shops, transit to Boston and several dining options yet still only moments from Bowen Elementary, the location is unparalleled. Bright foyer leads to a grand dining room and gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized waterfall quartz island. The formal living room includes plumbing for an effortless first-floor suite conversion, if desired, while the family room features a stately fireplace and coffered ceilings. Four bedroom suites all with custom closets and en-suite baths, plus a massive primary, boasting dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, and a radiant-heated spa bath. A versatile third floor serves as a lounge, office or playroom. The walk-out lower level offers a private entrance, full bed/bath, gym, another half bath and a massive great room. Attached two car garage leads to long tiled mudroom with cubbies and a half bath. Garage also has side door leading to outside, showcasing the stone patio which overlooks a pristine 12,000+ sq ft yard.
