Description

Great opportunity for the savvy buyer. Elegantly built Tudor styled Colonial in prime Newton Centre location. Some original features are lovely wood wainscoting in the living & dining rooms, high ceilings and oak floors. Updated over the years but now in need of a face-lift. Roofing is a combination of asbestos and asphalt shingles. This would be a terrific project for the discerning buyer.Great opportunity for the savvy buyer.
