Newton Wow: $7 Million Mansion Hits The Market

NEWTON, MA — OK, so not everyone can afford $7 million home. But everyone can afford to dream, right? This mansion, that just hit the market this week runs well over the median sale price in Newton (just above $1.2 million, according to realtor.com data), but it comes with some pretty fancy bells and whistles.

From the fact that it's the size of nine rather large apartments, to the made-for-Hollywood grounds and gardens to the decrative iron gates inside, this is a fancy home. But it's also got pinache; note the lap pool outside and the hot tub inside. Did we mention the master bathroom? Find the photo.

Oh and it has been owned since at least 2001 by one couple, according to city data.
