There’s a backstory and lots of real estate technicalities to how 10 Pillion Court in Newton became two luxe residences but here’s the only thing homebuyers need to know — residence #2 lives like a single-family.

Sharing just one wall with its neighboring property and enjoying a completely private backyard, it’s a total find in this quiet corner of the Newtonville neighborhood.

Sited facing Cabot Park, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and a dog park are right outside your door, as is easy access to schools, the commuter rail, and highways.

Just over 3,300 square feet are at your disposal, starting with a finished basement limited only by your imagination and ending with a home office or den hideaway on the third floor. In between, there’s an expansive, front-to-back kitchen, dining, and living space on the main floor, and three bedrooms on the second floor, including a bright primary suite with vaulted ceilings.

Attention to detail and craftsmanship are notable throughout, and the home shines with those details. In the kitchen, there’s an oversized, waterfall island and seamless countertops and backsplashes. The custom cabinetry is finished with crown moulding to the ceiling. The living room area is flooded with sunlight from a pair of French doors that open to a roomy and flat backyard and there’s a fireplace to keep things cozy.

Open house hours are Saturday and Sunday, July 8 and 9, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The home is on the market for $1,590,000. The sale is represented by Paul B. Campano with The Campano Group at Keller Williams Realty, 617-304-3686.
