http://www.NedMahoney.com - Originally a mill village on the Charles River, Newton Upper Falls is tucked into a potpourri of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century architecture and a major National Historic Landmark— Echo Bridge--over the Charles River's Hemlock Gorge. Today, a large portion of the village is protected as a designated historic district. A sampling of antique buildings throughout the neighborhood offers a genuine feel of the fabric of an early-Newton Upper Falls. Home to the Hemlock Gorge and Echo Bridge, a large aqueduct turned pedestrian walkway over the Charles River. It is said to be the only village that has retained its original name from when the area was founded in the 17th century. It has over 150 homes on the historic register despite its small area.
Charm and character abound in this early American colonial home with both Victorian and contemporary flair. Set among the tree-tops with incredible views of the Historic Echo Bridge and acres of conservation land, the Upper Falls Village of Newton Massachusetts is indeed a hidden jewel.
Despite all of its connection to the past, the property is ideally located just minutes from route 9, route 128 and the Massachusetts turnpike. Just a short walk to the Eliot Green Line T stop makes a commute by public transportation to Boston a breeze. Easy living in this comfortable setting also offers some outstanding neighborhood shops and restaurants.
Old and New come together nicely in the design and amenities of this gracious home. As you ascend the steps of this unique home you begin to appreciate its detail and rarely found warmth and charm. A wonderful surprise awaits you as you enter the front door to an open foyer and front stair with trick glass brick accenting the front entrance and stairs leading to the second floor.
A large living room greets you off the impressive foyer with nice detail including a fireplace, high ceilings, and hardwood floors. Don't miss the newly renovated first floor powder room conveniently located just off the foyer area.
A recently renovated kitchen with large island boasts granite counter tops and opens to a large dining room area large enough to host most any gathering. Out the side door of the kitchen, you step to an oversized deck, which will serve to please you and your guests once the snow clears and the bright warmer days of spring and summer arrive.
Up the stairs to the second floor you follow the wall of glass which floods the home with natural light while providing its own curtain of privacy.
The master bedroom is a private suite with a sitting room/ home office area and a separate bedroom area. Pamper yourself in a luxurious master bath – relax and take a leisurely soak in the tub while capturing the treetop views.
Off the second floor hall is an updated family bath which serves as the second floor family bath. Spacious bedrooms offer plenty of room for a growing family.
