Property Description
Featured in House Beautiful and named one of the world's best homes by Homes and Gardens, this property offers sweeping views of Crystal Lake and has an expansive private, landscaped yard and pool. This magnificently restored home features a 2/3-plus acre lot and a large carriage house. The original 1895 character was meticulously restored in a ground-up renovation that integrated a modern layout and systems. Four floors of living include an in-law suite and a castle-like stonewalled and mahogany-finished basement. A truly unique property, 219 Lake Ave is a dream vacation compound only 20 min from Boston. The home is situated just two blocks from the Newton Highlands T stop, and a brief stroll around the lake brings you to Newton Center and its excellent restaurants. Swim or paddleboard directly across the street at Crystal Lake Beach. An absolute must-see.
