132 Newbury Drive

There are backyards. And then there are places where you begin inventing reasons not to go inside. But before we describe this exceptional home, there’s a financial detail worth noticing: an assumable FHA loan with an approximate $330,000 balance at an extraordinary 3% interest rate, subject to lender approval and qualification. Now let's walk you through 132 Newbury Drive, a beautifully upgraded 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offering 2,553 square feet and the kind of details usually discovered only after someone else has spent the time and money getting them just right. Inside, wood-look tile leads through a flowing floor plan to a gourmet kitchen dressed in striking two-tone cabinetry, double ovens, gourmet cooktop, upgraded appliances and a custom walk-in pantry. The main level primary suite takes a quieter approach, with Craftsman crown molding and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub and upgraded tile. Upstairs, an enormous loft waits patiently to become a theater, game room or second living space with upgraded carpet and an oversized utility room adding thoughtful functionality. There are three additional bedrooms including one with custom built-in cabinetry incorporating a full-size Murphy bed, walk-in closet and adjacent guest bathroom. The other two bedrooms each feature walk-in closets and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. But, the backyard may ruin you for ordinary backyards. Beyond the 12' × 12' extended covered porch leads to the custom 350-square-foot stamped concrete patio and fire-pit area, professionally landscaped grounds, sprinkler system and peaceful views of the greenway and walking trails. It’s private, polished and seemingly designed for long dinners, good friends and evenings that end considerably later than planned. You can find newer homes. Finding one this finished, this private and potentially paired with a 3% mortgage is another matter entirely.
