Newton Home of the Week: 10 Highland Pk.

Curbside, this beautiful 102 year-old Victorian exhibits all the architectural and period details of Newton's historical real estate, but inside, it offers an eclectic blend of designs, mixing its past with today's hues and patterns for a warm, comfortable home that will transcend expectations even after viewing its photos.

Fourteen hundred square feet are resourcefully distributed between two levels of living space offering appealingly proportioned rooms for daily living and entertaining. Gleaming hardwood floors, warm taupe walls and a charming window seat all contribute to the living room's welcoming setting while the neighboring dining area makes a more dramatic statement with rich crimson which is complimented by a white vintage built-in china cabinet and moldings and a bay window. The large updated eat-in kitchen will immediately lure visitors with its sunny, bright disposition and cooks will be delighted with its culinary accessories, including an abundance of counter and cabinet space.

An ornamental staircase leads to the second level which hosts three generously-sized bedrooms with wall-to-wall carpeting and great closet space and a full, family bath. The finished basement, not included in the listing square footage, boosts this home's accommodations with a bonus prospect for a family or kids playroom.

This classic Victorian is tucked away on a quiet, picturesque side street within steps to bustling Newtonville Square, newly built Newton North High School and public transportation. It offers the perfect blend of classic features and characteristics with updates and modern designs that already attract so many potential homebuyers to the eclectic real estate in the City of Newton and is augmented by its incredibly convenient location. There is really nothing this beautiful home does not have, except for new buyer, which with these many attributes, should be fulfilled very soon.
