117 Gibbs Street
Newton, MA 02459

Very close to Newton Center and its many conveniences, this free-standing single-family residence has a superb setting away from it all, on a lush green cul-de-sac off a tree-lined residential side street. Surrounded by significant houses, the beautiful, private, tucked-away, landscaped lot is surprisingly large at about 1/3 of an acre. There is delightful and abundant outdoor space for play and entertaining. The ideal floor plan allows for convenient one-level living. There are good-size fireplaces in both the living room and the spacious lower-level den. Another lower-level bonus room works well as a game room or for music practice. Newer appliances. The house has handsome hardwood floors, lovely views from every window, and it has been well maintained by the same family for many decades. The siting allows for excellent light exposures. Central air conditioning. The generous screened porch faces the garden. Recent roof replacement.
