When the Boston and Albany railroad reached Newton Corner, Newtonville and West Newton in the middle of the nineteenth century, the villages around each station filled with Queen Anne, Second Empire and Italianate houses built for people commuting into the city. A good number survive, particularly on West Newton Hill, around Newton Corner and along the older streets of Nonantum and Newton Centre. They come with high ceilings, detailed woodwork and the maintenance that goes with both. Dave DiGregorio Real Estate knows these houses well.
