Rare Newton Centre estate on nearly an acre, set back ~100 yards from Dedham Street near Charles River Country Club. Offered two ways. Option one: Move into the immaculate turn-of-the-century Victorian. Enjoy 5,300+ sq ft across three finished levels of gleaming hardwoods and multiple fireplaces. From the grand foyer, a staircase rises straight ahead, with a formal dining room to one side and an oversized living room to the other. A primary suite anchors the second floor, while four bedrooms plus a cedar closet complete the third. Option two: Build. City-approved, stamped plans deliver a 9,000+ sq ft, 10-bedroom luxury residence. Plans include a rear expansion, a 2-car garage with an apartment above, a 4-stop elevator, a gated drive, and a finished basement with a lap pool option. The developer-seller of 50+ years can manage construction. Enjoy private seclusion with Newton Centre and Chestnut Hill minutes away. A century of character, or a blank canvas — the choice is yours.
