Newton Home of the Week: 16 Crehore Dr.

This vintage Gambrel/Dutch home in Newton Lower Falls showcases its rich architectural roots perched on top of a lush knoll nestled between two mature trees. Its charming enclosed front portico acts as a welcoming invitation into a home that's as picturesque inside as it is outside.

The house has nine rooms across two floors with almost 2,000 square feet of living space. The 23 x 11 square foot living room features a fireplace with an ornate mantel and recessed lighting and French doors provide a gracious entry into the 13 x 11 square foot formal dining area accented with wainscoting and a chairrail. This floor also offers an hospitable 17 x 10 square foot eat-in kitchen and an impressive 23 x 15 square foot family room with a cathedral beamed ceiling and skylight, French doors, natural red brick highlights and a wood pellet stove and a handy home office.

The second level includes a master bedroom and three additional bedrooms with a full bath. The basement provides additional bonus storage with custom-built cabinets and a cedar closet. There is also a lovely patio, partially enclosed by a enchanting arbor with flourishing greens available to enjoy the quiet tranquility of the private back yard.

While the city of Newton offers its residents tremendous retail, restaurant, recreational and commuter benefits, this specific home is especially advantageous with its location on a quiet side street in the heart of Newton Lower Falls. 

Newton is also well known for its exceptional school system and renowned for its secure neighborhoods, but the primary concern for any homebuyer is a safe, reliable and comfortable home and that is exactly what they will receive with this beautiful residence.
