Every once in a while a nice opportunity comes along, and when it does, you can be the smartest person in the room if you take advantage of it. How about building sweat equity in Newton?! The roof, heating system and hot water tank were all replaced in 2021. That leaves mostly cosmetic updates to be done. If you're capable of pulling up wall to wall carpeting and painting ceilings and walls, you'll be well on your way to maximizing your new homes value. Set off the beaten path and located 3 blocks to the brand new (under construction) Franklin Elementary School and playground (not under construction). In this neighborhood, you'll find yourself on a street, where if you listen closely, you'll hear children playing in their yards. All this on a well landscaped lot, with a one car garage, nice size backyard, and a brand new stone front walkway installed in the fall of 2025. Easy access to West Newton Square and public transportation via bus and train.
