Experience the vibrancy of Newton Centre and the serenity of Crystal Lake when approaching this unique property. This historically significant home sits on a corner to corner piece of land that measures 30,560 sq.ft. and has lake views. A fine example of a c.1893 Queen Anne Victorian with its porte cochere, entry porch and central turret, the property is coveted by those who walk past for its location and grandeur. Front and back staircases plus a spiral staircase access all three levels of the home comfortably. One could also add an elevator where it seems one existed in the past. In addition to the benefits of being at the Lake, the property is located within walking distance of Newton Centre, Newton Highlands, two T stops and provides easy access to Boston, the airport and highways.
