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.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 7,523 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 12,169 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
