Home of the Week: 149 Evelyn Road in Newton

Prospective homebuyers will be impressed with the layers of constructive details within this four year-young home. The house has a fluid floor plan that not only embraces relaxed family living and seamless entertaining, but also provides many private, distinctive areas throughout four levels of versatile living space to accommodate evolving residential needs.

A two-story front foyer introduces the home's flattering interior, as a columned entryway guides guests into a formal dining area with three-quarter wall wainscoting and an intimate living room with a coffered ceiling. Pocket doors provide privacy when needed to the living room, but left open this space spills effortlessly into a great room and kitchen.

The family room is a bright, open area drenched with natural sunlight from elongated windows that stretch to its nine-foot ceiling and includes a gas fireplace flanked by built-ins. A lovely dining area joins this space with a state-of-the-art kitchen fully equipped with a sub-zero refrigerator, Viking six-burner cooktop with water faucet, dual ovens, a bar fridge, granite surfaces, upgraded cabinetry and a large center island with seating.

A convenient wing off the kitchen provides many practical uses with outdoor egresses to the side yard and two-car garage. This annex includes a mudroom lined with custom coat cubbies and a bedroom and full bath that would make an ideal guest suite or home office.

The second level hosts a master suite with a sitting room, walk-in closet accessorized by Californian Closets, and a full, deluxe bath with a double vanity, sunken whirlpool tub and oversized glass shower with three shower heads.

This floor also includes another suite, two spacious bedrooms, a full family bath and an all-inclusive laundry center. The landing at the base of the walk-up third level provides a charming vignette with a west-facing window seat flanked by floor-to-ceiling shelving. The third story offers diverse lodging/recreational options with a large, carpeted room naturally brightened by a skylight in a vaulted ceiling, furnishes more built-ins and a full bath.

Flexible room accommodations include the finished basement that offers an exercise room/office and playroom lined with new plush wall-to-wall carpeting and an au-pair suite with a full Hollywood bath.

This unique property in Waban Village has a creative, fluid blueprint and design. Virtually every space includes storage and display opportunities and offers an efficient use of its vertical square footage. This is a residence that can jump off the page of a design magazine and just as easily invoke images of daily, family living.
