Newton Home of the Week: 204 Elliot St., Unit 2

This brand new duplex is a great opportunity to take advantage of its fresh construction and its beneficial location. Completely remodeled this year, this condominium has been enhanced with soft neutrals, modern appliances and simple, tasteful accessories. Its Newton site, specifically Newton Highlands/Newton Upper Falls, is an extremely convenient area where public transportation, major routes and private and chain retailing are only minutes away.

With almost 2,000 square feet of living space spread throughout three levels, this duplex uniquely offers spacious and private accommodations. The main level includes a 17 x 13 square foot welcoming living room that spills into an adjoining 13 x 13 square foot dining area. The 13 x 16 square foot chef's kitchen has been granted upgraded ingredients with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and granite surfaces with plenty of room available for a casual dining area and fluid traffic flow as family and guests because as host or cook has experienced, the kitchen it typically the most popular space in any house. A handy 11 x 8 square foot home office and half bath complete the tour on this level.

The second floor boasts a 15 x 14 square foot master suite with a walk-in closet, two additional liberal-sized bedrooms at 13 x 11 and 13 x 13 square feet and two full baths.

Many structural and convenient amenities are also included with the unit, such as a laundry room, elevated ceilings, hardwood flooring, an oversized deck, plentiful storage, dual-zone central air conditioning and deeded parking for two vehicles.

A reasonable $150 monthly fee covers all outdoor maintenance and insurance, especially economical for this area and likely courtesy of its newly renovated status and minimal required repairs. With overhead costs kept to such a minimum and virtually no move-in labor necessary, unpacking the bags and boxes and enjoying the beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodations are the only mandatory obligations new homeowners will encounter.
