In late spring 2019, this stately 4‑bedroom Colonial on Cedar Street hit the market for $1,779,000 and quickly captured buyers’ attention. After only 15 days on the market it went under agreement and ultimately closed in mid‑July for $1,800,000 — a testament to the desirability of the home and its Newton Centre location. Built circa 1904 and offering about 3,099 square feet of living space, the residence blends gracious proportions and period charm with thoughtful updates and a comfortable modern layout.

Recent renovations enhanced the home’s functionality without sacrificing character. The owners added a dedicated home office, refreshed every room with new flooring and fresh paint, and replaced the windows while preserving the high ceilings and architectural details. A stunning master bath and a new Jack‑and‑Jill bath were added upstairs. On the main level the kitchen was expanded and opened to generous dining and gathering rooms, while more intimate rooms provide quiet spaces for work or play.

The second floor centers around a surprising foyer that opens to four light‑filled bedrooms. Each bedroom enjoys access to an updated bath, including the serene new master suite with its spa‑like bath. A brand‑new Jack and Jill bathroom serves two family bedrooms, and a fourth bedroom has its own bath. The flexible floor plan offers ample space for modern living.

Outside, the property sits on a level 9,179‑square‑foot lot tucked on a quiet side street with a neighborhood feel. Despite the tranquility, the home is only minutes from the shops and restaurants of Newton Centre and Newtonville, houses of worship, Mason Rice Elementary, and the Mass Pike for a quick commute into Boston. It’s an exceptional blend of old‑world charm, modern amenities and unbeatable convenience.
