If you are someone who truly loves the magic of a historic home, you have to see this 1881 “Painted Lady.” It is one of the most famous and beautiful houses in the area, standing tall with its iconic mansard roof and colorful, classic charm. From the moment you walk through the grand front entry, you can feel the history. The ceilings are a massive 10 feet tall, making every room on the main floor feel light, airy, and incredibly grand. Even though it’s over 140 years old, the house has been updated to be perfectly comfortable for today. It has a wonderful open layout that lets sunshine pour in from every angle. It is the kind of home that was built for making memories, whether you are relaxing by the ornate fireplace or enjoying the breeze on the verandah.
This house is surprisingly big, with over 7,300 square feet of space. The main level even has its own guest suite, which is so hard to find in older homes! Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels like a private retreat with its own cozy fireplace. There are four more bedrooms on that level too, so everyone has their own space. One of the coolest parts of this property is the separate three-room suite. It has its own entrance, making it the perfect spot for a quiet home office, an art studio, or a space for extended family. It gives you so much flexibility while keeping the main house peaceful and private.
Outside, the property keeps on giving. There is a gorgeous granite patio that is just perfect for summer dinners under the stars. The backyard is big, flat, and level, which is a rare treat in this neighborhood. It’s a wonderful spot for kids to play or for you to start the garden of your dreams. The location is absolutely perfect, too. You are just a few blocks away from Newton Centre, the local schools, and the beautiful Crystal Lake. You get the peace of a historic landmark with all the convenience of city living. This isn’t just a house; it’s a piece of Newton’s history that is ready for its next lucky owner!
