Just Sold in Newton, Massachusetts
In early 2019 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals guided the sale of a charming executive ranch at 192 Cotton Street in Newton Centre. This three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home was listed at $900,000 and quickly captured the attention of buyers. After just six days on the market it sold on March 8, 2019 for $1.1 million—well above the asking price. Set on a generous 14,325-square-foot lot, the single-level residence offers approximately 1,604 square feet of living space and includes a two-car garage under the house.
The mid-century ranch welcomes you with a warm living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that overlook the front yard. An open dining area flows seamlessly to a covered rear patio with a built-in bench, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. The quaint kitchen, though dated, exudes a French-country charm with vintage cabinetry and views of the yard. Three well-sized bedrooms—including a primary bedroom spacious enough for a California-king bed—share a full bath, while a half bath serves guests. Downstairs, a finished family room with a second fireplace offers flexible space for media, play or a home office.
Outside, the home’s large level lot is tastefully landscaped with mature trees and plantings, offering space for gardening, play and entertaining. The covered patio extends the living space in warmer months, and the two-car garage under the house provides convenient parking and storage. Located minutes from Newton Centre’s shops, restaurants and Green Line station, with quick access to the Mass Pike and public transportation, this property appeals to commuters and families seeking a quiet retreat with excellent connectivity.
This sale took place at a time when buyer demand for Newton Centre properties was strong, particularly for homes with renovation or expansion potential. Although the kitchen and baths await updating, the ranch’s solid construction, expansive yard and prime location attracted investors and end-users alike. By leveraging targeted marketing and a well-timed open house, we were able to generate multiple offers and negotiate a sale well above the listing price. It’s a testament to the enduring value of Newton real estate and to our team’s commitment to maximizing results for sellers. If you’re considering buying or selling in Newton, we’d be honored to help you achieve your goals.
