About this home

40 Shornecliffe Road offers an exceptional opportunity to own a turnkey Colonial in Newton Corner. Original architectural details, including crown moldings and beautiful stained glass, have been carefully preserved, showcasing a level of craftsmanship and character rarely found in newer construction. A grand foyer welcomes you into an elegant main level featuring gracious living and dining rooms, two fireplaces, and a spectacular chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, premium appliances, and a generous center island. The kitchen opens to a charming wraparound farmer’s porch, inviting effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, six bedrooms across the second and third floors include a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bath, dressing room, and walk-in closet, offering exceptional flexibility for guests and home office needs. The finished lower level provides additional versatility with a media room, game room, and bar, ideal for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. Recent improvements, including a new heating system and hot water heater in 2025, offer added peace of mind. Outside, a fully fenced backyard with low-maintenance turf creates an inviting setting for outdoor living. A detached two-car garage with convenient access to a mudroom completes the offering. A beautifully balanced home where classic architecture meets modern comfort, ideally located in one of Newton’s most desirable neighborhoods.

What do these numbers mean?

DESE accountability percentiles (1–99) compare schools administering similar assessments, using up to two years of indicators. These are not test scores out of 100 or GreatSchools 1–10 ratings. Progress toward targets is a separate state measure. Consider programs, support services and your child’s needs as well.

School names link to available school or district websites.
