959 Chestnut Street · Newton

Created in 2024 by an accomplished developer as his personal residence, this extraordinary custom Colonial offers a rare combination of architectural elegance, uncompromising construction, sophisticated finishes, and an exceptional Newton location. Designed from the ground up with an emphasis on scale, permanence, and quality, the home is engineered with LVL structural beams throughout, allowing for expansive open concept living and ceiling heights on both the first and second floors. The result is an effortless sense of volume and light rarely achieved in a traditional colonial. Every element of the home reflects a level of craftmanship and attention to detail that goes well beyond typical new construction. Custom millwork and architectural molding throughout the residence creates a refined, timeless character, while wide-plank hardwood flooring across the main living levels adds warmth and continuity. The completely finished lower level provides an expansive additional living environment with engineered hardwood flooring and generous open space suitable for a home theatre, fitness area, recreation or guest accomodations. At the center of the home is a truly bespoke kitchen featuring imported Italian marble and premium Bertazzoni Italian appliances. Rich materials, sophisticated detailing, and generous proportions create a space equally suited to everyday family life, intimate dinners, and large-scale entertaining. Even the garage reflects the same attention to detail found throughout the residence. The finished garage features durable waterproof flooring and custom cabinetry, creating a clean, organized, highly functional space that goes well beyond the typical residential garage. The home is also EV-ready, with dedicated electrical infrastructure in place for convenient electric-vehicle charging—an intentional modern amenity designed for the future of luxury homeownership. For the commuter, the location is exceptionally convenient, with easy access to Routes 9, I-95 and I-90 and close proximity to the Mall at Chestnut Hill and premier shopping and dining, multiple golf courses, and a highly sought-after Newton school district.
