Why aren’t there more 1960s raised ranches on the market in the Greater Boston area?
The more we pore over 34 Donna Road in Newton, the more this floor plan just makes sense for everyday living. But — and true to the swinging sixties — it’s also optimally laid out for entertaining. In conclusion, let’s bring the humble ranch back.
Here’s what we love about the sprawling home, and it is sprawling at 4,360 square feet: the first floor encompasses the living, dining, and four bedrooms, putting single-floor living within reach. Then, the lower level comes in with bonus space for a den, home gym, or au-pair suite which, because it’s above ground unlike your more traditional basement, means plenty of natural light.
The home received an extensive renovation that kept some of the groovy details, including the dramatic living room fireplace. The layout flows right into a bright dining room and a showy kitchen. In the latter, amateur chefs will be utterly spoiled by the six-burner gas range, double wall oven and tons of custom storage. Just off the kitchen, a window-lined family room opens via sliders to a generous deck.
Hosting a crowd? The lower level features an additional gas fireplace and wet bar, plus access to the large, flat backyard and patios.
Open house hours are noon to 1 p.m. Saturday. For more information about the property, listed at $2,872,000, Ellen Meisel with Unlimited Sotheby’s International Realty, 617-699-1487.
