This intriguing house is best thought of as a large single family home perched on top of a generous source of income. Viewed this way, it offers two qualities difficult to find in Newton - great location and value. Situated in a quiet setting at the edge of Newtonville Square, offering close proximity to Newton North HS, FA Day Middle School, as well as Whole Foods, the commuter rail and a rich array of shops and restaurants in the village. Viewed as a single family house comprising the second and third floors of the building, it has 2550 square feet of living space: 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an updated kitchen, an in-unit laundry, garage parking for two cars including a charging station for an EV, solar panels, and a fenced side yard for your exclusive use. The first floor apartment, which is fully rented, also has numerous updates, off-street parking for three cars, and provides monthly rent of $6350, which is a significant offset to the cost of ownership.
