Sold in late June 2019 for \$1.2875 million after just 23 days on the market, this elegant four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Colonial at 10 Travis Drive demonstrates the enduring appeal of Newton’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood. Listed at \$1.35 million, the property attracted strong attention thanks to its move-in-ready condition, thoughtful updates and convenient location in a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from Newton Centre and The Street.

The main level is designed for modern living with an open concept kitchen, dining and living area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and a central island make the kitchen both stylish and functional, while glass doors lead out to a raised deck overlooking the landscaped back yard. A cozy den and half bath complete the first floor, offering additional space for reading, hobbies or a playroom.

Upstairs you’ll find three generous bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious primary suite with ample closets and a private bath. The finished lower level features a family room with direct access to the yard, as well as laundry and storage areas. Recent improvements such as a 2017 roof and a 2018 hot-water heater provide peace of mind, and the attached garage plus two additional parking spaces mean there’s room for everyone’s car.

With its combination of thoughtful renovations and classic colonial charm, the home appealed to buyers seeking a turnkey property in one of Newton’s most desirable neighborhoods. Families loved the proximity to top-rated schools, shopping and dining, as well as the ease of commuting into Boston via nearby MBTA stations. The sale closed quickly after competitive interest, illustrating the strong demand for well-maintained homes in Chestnut Hill.

– Four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths across approximately 2,365 square feet.
