Home of the Week: 188 Collins Rd.

The brand new Newton colonial offers all the beauty of traditional architecture with unique twists of today's contemporary designs.

New construction in Newton, and more specifically the quaint village of Waban, is a rare opportunity, but what makes this spacious property even more special is the level of design, details and amenities that were applied to its initial fabrication.

The interior boasts 6,600 square feet of luxurious living space throughout three finished levels. All 12 rooms feature unique architectural touches laid out within elegant, neutral spaces. The groundwork has been expertly executed to provide its first residents with an exceptional canvas to build a home that will evolve with their lifestyle.

The first level consists of elegant formal areas in the fireplaced living room, intimate dining room and a state-of-the-art kitchen that spills into the fireplaced family room. A bedroom suite is also offered for residents who require immediate or future one-level accommodations.

The second floor hosts impressive lodging for its owners and their families with a spectacular fireplaced master suite with a spa bath, two additional suites with full, private baths, two more large bedrooms and a convenient laundry center. The finished lower level boosts its living options further with a playroom and two bonus rooms that could be utilized as a home office, exercise room or even additional bedrooms.

To augment its structurally comfortable accommodations, this home has been stocked with many high end materials, finishes, equipment and utilities. A sampling includes a five-zone radiant heating and four-zone central air conditioning systems, attached two-car heated garage, sprinkler system, central vacuum, Energy Star appliances and a security system. It is also sited on a large, professionally landscaped lot within walking distance to public transportation.
