In spring 2019 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals closed the sale of a beautifully appointed four-bedroom colonial at 17 Irving Street in Newton. This luxury home, built about 15 years ago, sits on an 8,528‑square‑foot lot and offers approximately 4,040 square feet of living space. Originally listed for $1.799 million, it sold in April 2019 for $1.725 million after 127 days on the market as buyers fell in love with its chef’s kitchen, flexible floor plan and coveted Newton Centre location.
The heart of the home is a thoughtfully designed kitchen that makes entertaining effortless. Two ovens, two sinks and two dishwashers provide the capacity to host large gatherings or cook with multiple chefs, and high‑end appliances ensure restaurant‑grade results. The kitchen opens to a sunny family room and out to the level backyard, while a more formal living and dining room sit at the front of the home for gracious occasions.
Upstairs, four bedrooms each offer an en‑suite bath—a rare feature for this market. The owner’s suite impresses with tray ceilings, a luxurious spa bathroom and abundant closet space. On the third floor, a dramatic loft with soaring ceilings, skylights and another full bath provides a flexible space for a studio, office or guest area. The finished lower level adds even more living area with a large hangout space, bonus room and full bath, while a heated two‑car garage provides convenience in all seasons.
Beyond the house itself, the property’s location between Newton Centre and the Mass Pike means residents enjoy quick access to upscale shopping, dining, parks and top schools including Ward School. Houses of worship, university campuses and commuter routes are within minutes. Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals marketed the home widely and guided the sellers through negotiations, ultimately securing a strong sale price that reflects both the quality of the renovation and sustained demand in Newton’s luxury market.

– 4 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms across 4,040 square feet
