In April 2019 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals brought a fully renovated and expanded Colonial in Newton Centre to the market—and sold it in just eight days for $1.9 million, $1,000 over its $1.899 million asking price. Sited on a flat 8,925 square foot lot in the Mason Rice/Brown district, 18 Hamlin Road blends classic curb appeal with contemporary convenience across four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths and roughly 3,170 square feet of living space. The quick, competitive sale underscores the enduring demand for turnkey properties in central Newton.
Designed around the kitchen as the heart of the home, the first floor offers a perfectly balanced mix of open-plan gathering space and quieter formal rooms. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Noir Jenn‑Air appliances, an oversized island, a computer workstation and a walk‑in pantry complete with a second dishwasher, sink and microwave. It opens seamlessly to a family room and the level backyard beyond, while a sunroom provides a peaceful spot for reading or morning coffee. For larger gatherings, a formal dining room accommodates friends and family with ease.
Upstairs, the tranquil primary suite features a steam shower and ample closet space. Three additional bedrooms—including one with its own en‑suite bath—ensure room for family, guests or a home office. Modern systems and thoughtful finishes like hardwood floors, recessed lighting and custom built‑ins run throughout. Outside, the manicured yard offers plenty of space for play, gardening or entertaining, and the attached garage provides convenient storage.
Part of the charm of 18 Hamlin Road is its proximity to everything Newton Centre and Newtonville have to offer. Edmund’s Park’s hiking trails and natural beauty are steps away, and the Newton Centre Playground—with tennis courts, sports fields, dog park and tot lot—is just down the street. Shops, restaurants and public transit at both village centers are within a short stroll, while major commuting routes like the Mass Pike are minutes away.
This property attracted multiple buyers who were drawn to its like‑new condition, flexible floor plan and unbeatable location. Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals staged the home to highlight its flow, priced it strategically and negotiated expertly to achieve a smooth, over‑asking sale.
