'Wow Estate' For $4.5 Million Overlooks Chestnut Hill Reservoir

NEWTON, MA — It's the 10th most expensive home in Newton, according to realtor.com. And by home we mean mansion. This estate overlooks the Chestnut Hill Reservoir but still has privacy and is set back from the street. It's one of only several homes with water views that has access from Chestnut Hill Road. The current owner has had the home since the early 1990s but it looks like a model home. Just look through the pictures.

Here's what else the realtor has to say about it. Definitely a "wow" home:
