Welcome to 11 Chester St ~ A Gem in the heart of Newton Highlands:

A truly rare offering: The David B. Scott House. Tucked on a tree-lined street just blocks from Crystal Lake and designed by architect Annie Cobb, this handsome residence is set on 15,000 square feet of landscaped grounds. The property is highlighted by a two-story carriage house, offering exceptional flexibility for future use, and present-day entertaining while thoughtfully preserving its historic character. The carriage house, offering wonderful potential for a guest residence, home office, creative studio, or accessory dwelling, features refinished hardwood floors, electrical, and a full basement.

The handsome five-plus-bedroom Second Empire Victorian, circa 1874, has been extensively updated, blending its original beauty with contemporary amenities and offering a flexible layout, ideal for family living and entertaining. The 2023 cook’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz counters, breakfast bar, and a prep station, all designed for effortless flow to the dining room, wraparound porch, outdoor grounds, patio, carriage house, and gardens. Thoughtfully designed by landscape designer Karen Howard, the level yard and gardens create seamless access and inviting entertaining spaces.

The first level offers wonderful flow from the kitchen to the dining, living, and family room, along with a full bath and an office or bedroom. Upstairs, there are three generous bedrooms, including a primary suite oasis with walk-in closet and a luxurious 2026 full bath, plus a family bath and laundry room. The third floor provides wonderful space for family or guests, with two bedrooms, a full bath, a family room with a vaulted ceiling, a wet bar, and a private entrance. Additional updates include 2026 air-conditioning and a 2021 roof.

Located in the Zervas/Mason Rice School district, this property offers easy access to the T, shops, and restaurants of Newton Highlands, as well as Newton Centre, Cold Spring Park, and more.
