9 Rue Peabody, Unité 9, Newton, Massachusetts, 02458

Easy living and convenience define this gracious first-floor residence in a grand Victorian condominium in Newton Corner. A welcoming front porch, two private entrances, a patio set in a lovely perennial garden and two-car parking are amenities that feel akin to those found in a single-family home. The bright and airy interior boasts 9-foot ceilings, marble mantels, bay windows and beautiful hardwood floors. The charming kitchen, anchored by a butcher-block island, has its own entrance and features stainless appliances and lots of cabinets. Given the spaciousness of the living and dining rooms, entertaining for a holiday crowd will be a must. And each of the good-sized bedrooms has an en suite bathroom and terrific closet space. When coupled with the walk-in hall closets, the significant amount of basement storage is just a bonus, especially with in-unit laundry. 7-9 Peabody is a pet-friendly association, close to fun restaurants, shopping, great schools and just minutes to the Mass Pike and MBTA Express buses making commuting to Boston, Cambridge and beyond a breeze.
