The crayon-colored Victorian at 90 Highland Avenue in Newton almost defies description. Or, it contains so many multitudes that it refuses to be pinned to just one or two defining characteristics.

At first glance, the property recalls a dreamy, massive dollhouse sited on a tree-lined street.

Upon further inspection, it allows for two-family living with its separate third-floor apartment. When you dig even further, the home boasts some of the most eye-catching amenities we’ve spotted in Newton, all in a neat, lovingly maintained package. Did we mention it’s close to shopping and schools, too?

Owner’s quarters, made up of the first and second floor, feature four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a host of spaces for gathering around a meal or a cozy movie night. Bay windows, large picture windows, and French doors allow natural light to stream throughout, brightening the historic footprint. A glass pavilion, the undisputed champ of this home, stuns with its scale, drama, and serene vantage point overlooking the yard.

Speaking of yard, get ready to have repeat guests to your in-ground heated spa, firepit, and lavish patio area — just in time for summer.

Open house hours are Saturday, April 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The sale of the property, on the market for $2,699,000, is represented by Paul Campano, Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest, 617-304-3686.
