Home of the Week: 54 Clements Rd.

This classic and beautifully renovated 76 year-old Tudor in the popular Ward School district in Newton introduces its unique and distinctive construction curbside for Newton residents. It also graciously presents exceptional characteristics inside. Layers of natural materials, such as brick and stone provide a solid and distinguished structural foundation while its interior flaunts many architectural designs, including built-ins, cozy nooks, archways and elaborate ceiling patterns. It was also fabricated with many windows, from decorative, to functional to drench every space in warm, natural sunlight.

With 4,139 square feet of living space distributed throughout three finished levels, the full footprint of this home was resourcefully utilized to provide its residents with many versatile spaces. The first floor begins with a large 25 x 14 square foot sunken living room with a fireplace and exposed ceiling beams and a formal 14 x 14 square foot dining area with a charming built-in corner china cabinet. Residents will be drawn to the comfortable 25 x 8 square foot family room. The renovated kitchen includes upgraded cabinetry, granite surfaces, stainless steel accents and a lovely breakfast area.

An enchanting circular staircase leads to the second level landing and one of the imaginative showcases within this home, a spectacular domed ceiling. This floor also features four bedrooms, with a 25 x 14 square foot skylit master suite with a fully-equipped walk-in closet with built-ins and a full private bath. It also includes  three bedrooms measuring 11 x 10, 14 x 13 and 17 x 11 square feet.

The 845 square foot walk-out lower level encourages a seamless flow with indoor and outdoor recreational activities between its 25 x 14 square foot playroom with a fireaplace. This floor also includes an 11 x 10 square foot exercise room and a guest suite with an 11 x 11 square foot bedroom and full bath.
