Newton Home of the Week: 50 Gordon Road

Luxury and comfort were perfectly combined within this custom contemporary colonial in the Newton Village of Waban. Inside, it includes state-the-art materials and finishes and exquisite craftsmanship, an open, expansive floor plan throughout over 7,500 square feet and 14 versatile rooms and deluxe accommodations with three fireplaces, premium appliances and professional designs. Outside, its oversized nearly three quarter of an acre lot boasts many recreational and leisure amenities with a cascading waterfall, koi pond, hot tub spa and sprinkler system. Virtually no desire or convenience was unanswered in the fabrication and maintenance of this magnificent home.

The inviting kitchen/family room will likely be the most popular spaces for family and guests to gather. This fluid, open setting begins in the chef's kitchen with suburb culinary ingredients that include custom cabinets, upgraded stainless steel appliances, granite surfaces and an expansive L-shaped breakfast bar. The kitchen opens into a grand family room with a vaulted ceiling, wet bar, a fireplace, architectural windows and a sliding door that leads to an spacious deck and provides fantastic views of the professionally-landscaped grounds. The formal living and dining areas provide sophisticated settings with the living room focused around the fireplace flanked by coordinating floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a welcoming dining area with a coffered ceiling.

For sleeping accommodations, this home provides many flexible and lavish options, including an amazing first-floor master suite equipped with a center fireplace, sitting area, walk-in closets and a deluxe bath. There are also five additional bedrooms including an au-pair suite on the lower level with a private entrance and six full and one half baths. This floor also expands the opportunities for entertaining and leisure activities with a large playroom and gym.

The City of Newton offers many advantageous benefits to its citizens, including its convenient commuter location into Boston and easy access to many major routes. With all this lovely home has to offer, however, residents will likely find many motivations to stay home.
