Sleek and contemporary new construction occasionally runs the risk of feeling austere.

Not at 7 Stonewood Drive in Newton. Here, crisp lines and a nod to minimalism make room for personality and dare we say, flare, with unexpected design flourishes. The result is a lavish single-family home that’s interesting to live in — and fun to show off.

This fusion of premium finishes and visionary design welcomes its new family with a whopping seven bedrooms and 6.5 baths — just under 7,000 square feet of interior space — and even more room to play outside.

A captivating interior with lofty ceiling and an open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Complemented by an abundance of oversized windows, there’s a natural extension to the outdoors. Treetop views and sunlight filtering in add warmth.

Ideal for those who love to entertain, dual fireplaces, including a double-sided fireplace that appears to float between the dining and sitting area, offer dazzling design moments to wow guests.

At the heart of the home, a stylish kitchen boasting an oversized island, two-tone cabinetry, and integrated appliances, opens to a covered balcony overlooking an expansive private lot, leaving ample room for a potential pool.

Ascend to the second floor to discover an additional living space and three bedrooms with en-suite baths. The primary suite features a spa-like bath and a private covered balcony.

The lower level offers versatility, with spaces for play, home office, guest suite, mudroom, and a spacious three-car garage.

Open house hours are Saturday, Jan. 27, from noon to 2 p.m.

The sale of the home, on the market for $4,875,000, is represented by Felicia Captain with Coldwell Banker Realty – Wellesley, 781-775-9925.
