In early summer 2019 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals guided the sale of a unique loft‑style condominium at 110 Washington Park in Newtonville. Set in the historic Claflin Schoolhouse, this two‑bedroom, one‑bath unit offered soaring 10‑foot ceilings, huge arched windows and an open layout reminiscent of a New York loft. Listed at $589,000, the condo attracted strong interest and sold after just two weeks for $610,000, illustrating the high demand for character‑filled homes in Newton’s thriving village center.
Step inside and you’ll appreciate the sense of space created by those high ceilings and oversized windows that flood the interior with natural light. The main living/dining area flows easily into an updated galley‑style kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, stone countertops and crisp white cabinetry. Both bedrooms are well proportioned with generous closet space; the primary bedroom enjoys double closets and built‑in storage. The full bath has been renovated with subway tile and modern fixtures. Additional conveniences include in‑unit laundry, central heating and air conditioning and newer mechanical systems.
Living in the Claflin Schoolhouse lofts means enjoying the best of Newtonville. The professionally managed building offers an elevator, extra storage and a dedicated parking space in the private lot, and pets are welcome. Step outside and you’re within a short stroll of restaurants, Whole Foods and Star Market, the Newtonville commuter rail station and the Charles River greenway. The neighborhood’s tree‑lined streets, parks and quick access to the Mass Pike make it one of Newton’s most convenient addresses.
The spring 2019 condo market in Newton was highly competitive, with buyers searching for turn‑key units near transportation and retail hubs. Our team strategically priced 110 Washington Park to generate interest, staged the interior to highlight its spaciousness and character, and held a series of well‑attended open houses. Multiple offers followed, pushing the final sale price above asking. The new owners were drawn to the loft’s blend of historic charm, modern comforts and walkable location.
