Newton Home of the Week: 20 Claremont St.

This spectacular custom colonial uniquely offers its new owners the structural luxury and comfort from new construction, spacious dimensions, both inside and out, and a premier Newton location. It has also been creatively and skillfully designed with its resourceful use of space and eye-appealing architectural details and premier materials that potential homebuyers will feel it was created just for them.

The first floor contains a formal fireplaced living room and dining room, both with wainscoting and recessed lighting. The family room hosts the second of three fireplaces in the home and French doors and a library containing the third fireplace and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases. The state-of-the-art chef's kitchen will delight any level cook with its upgraded accessories and butler's pantry and offers both a center island and a casual dining area for seating.

The second floor contains a lavish master suite with a walk-in closet and full private bath, three additional bedrooms and a laundry room while the third story offers many living options with another bedroom and a large loft. This area would make an ideal au-pair or teenager suite. The 1,400 square feet of living space in the basement provides great recreational options with a media room and exercise room, both with wall-to-wall carpeting.

As mentioned, every consideration was given as to the desires, wants and needs of today's savvy homebuyers and their lifestyles. With that in mind, this home was fabricated with convenience, luxury, durability and longevity at every step. A few examples include over half an acre of land, the consistent use of marble, granite and hardwood, aesthetic details, such as French doors and wainscoting, professional landscaping, decorative exterior lighting and a sprinkler and security system.

The above description and examples are just a taste of what to expect when touring this magnificent property. The entire, delicious meal will be enjoyed for years after purchase.
