In November 2007 Steinmetz Real Estate Professionals represented an extraordinary colonial on Eliot Memorial Road in Newton. Listed at $2,550,000, the shingle‑style residence found a buyer for $2,500,000 after just 60 days on the market and closed on February 27, 2008. Built circa 1925 on a generous 21,070‑square‑foot parcel with golf‑course views, the home underwent a complete renovation in 2006, blending timeless architectural detail with modern luxury.

The 12‑room floor plan spans more than 5,000 square feet and is anchored by a gourmet kitchen outfitted with restaurant‑grade appliances that opens to casual dining and family spaces. Four fireplaces warm the gracious formal living areas, while multiple porches and a covered patio extend the living space outdoors. A sumptuous primary suite features its own fireplace, cathedral ceilings, spa bathroom and dressing room. Nearby, a first‑floor au‑pair suite or home office includes a separate entrance for flexibility.

Upstairs, a children’s wing offers three bedrooms and two baths, and the third floor houses a teen suite with additional full bath. The finished lower level provides even more recreational space along with a sixth full bath. Modern systems include forced‑air and radiant heat, central air conditioning, a security system and 200‑amp electrical service. A security system, wet bar and custom lighting complete the package.

Set on a premier tree‑lined street in the Ward School district near Bigelow Middle School and Newton North High, this special property combines privacy, elegance and convenience. Its combination of historic charm, thoughtful renovations and an enviable location near golf and commuter routes made this seven‑bedroom colonial a rare find in Newton.
