25 Fountain Street, West Newton

Graciously sited on a generous .5+ acre lot on prime West Newton, 25 Fountain St presents a rare opportunity to become this home’s next steward. The distinguished property, designed in the Victorian 'Stick-style' and thoughtfully expanded by its current owners, is effortlessly timeless yet thoroughly updated and modernized throughout.

A welcoming foyer features a gracious staircase and offers access to the formal living room with a fireplace, a library with elegant built-ins, or the spacious dining room that comfortably seats 8-10 guests. The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with white shaker cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, a large center island, and a custom-crafted built-in cabinet. Adjacent to the kitchen is a light-filled breakfast room, surrounded by windows and overlooking the gardens. A spacious family room, with high ceilings and built-ins, opens to the wraparound rear porch, perfect for entertaining. Completing this level is an office nook, mudroom, half bath, and rear staircase.

Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite features a king-sized bedroom with a charming bay window, a walk-through dressing room with custom wardrobes, and a luxurious stone-clad bathroom with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a large hall bath that includes a double vanity and a laundry center. The third floor offers an ideal retreat with a fourth bedroom, en-suite bath, and office or homework nook, along with a spacious family room/game room and a convenient half bath.

The standalone carriage house, designed and built by the current owners, includes a two-car garage with storage and a flexible bonus space above, complete with a full bathroom—perfect as a fifth bedroom, gym, au-pair/guest suite, or home office.

The professionally landscaped half-acre lot is a private oasis, featuring expansive lawns, gardens, and inviting spaces for outdoor gatherings.

Located in the highly sought-after West Newton Hill neighborhood, this home offers a rare combination of historic charm, privacy, and proximity to schools such as Peirce Elementary, Day Middle School and Newton North High School, downtown Boston, and surrounding amenities.
