Set back as a private sanctuary, this exceptional new construction blends sophisticated design with elite functionality. Located 0.8 miles from Newton Centre’s premier shops and transit, and moments from Bowen Elementary, the location is unparalleled. A radiant foyer leads to a grand dining room and gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized waterfall quartz island. The formal living room includes plumbing for an effortless first-floor suite conversion, if desired, while the family room features a stately fireplace and coffered ceilings. Four bedroom suites feature private en-suite baths, led by a primary sanctuary boasting dual walk-in closets, a fireplace, and a radiant-heated spa bath. A versatile third floor serves as a lounge or office. The walk-out lower level offers a private entrance, full bed/bath, gym, and massive great room. Outside, a patio overlooks a pristine 12,000+ sq ft yard.
