Home showcase: Updated Colonial in Newton

Sited along the cutest circular cul-de–sac in Newton, 8 Bunny Circle is a completely transformed 10-room Colonial. After receiving a major facelift and expansion in 2022, the home’s inviting footprint features a whopping 3,099 square feet across three floors, as well as gently sloping outdoor living space.

A cheerful, covered front door lands you in the semi-open dining, kitchen, and living room space on the first floor. It’s an ideal compromise between an open floor plan and closed-off rooms with the just-right flow for gathering and conversation. The dining area enjoys a mantled gas fireplace and opens to the newer kitchen. Here, an eat-in island with a granite countertop and cherry cabinets frame the space which opens to a deck overlooking the backyard. Trendy barn doors and walls of windows surround the living room where you’ll find another fireplace.

Setting 8 Bunny Circle apart is a first-floor guest suite with private access and its own kitchenette and bath. Three bedrooms and a den share the second floor, including a primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings and sun-filled en-suite bath with a soaking tub.

The finished third floor adds even more flexibility to the home, with potential for a private home office, kids’ play area, or dedicated workout space.

Open house hours are Saturday and Sunday, April 8 and 9, from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
