Step into the character of this beautifully restored 3-story home on a desirable corner lot in Newton! Offering 2,243 sq. ft. of finished living space, this home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a 1-car garage, and an extensive list of improvements that provide modern comfort while preserving its timeless craftsmanship.
