Newton house dating from 1788 drops for nearly $2M

The bones of the 4,762-square-foot Georgian colonial at 391 Dedham Street in Newton’s Oak Hill date from 1788.

It retains some of that late-18th-century charm in its floorboards, five fireplaces, and exterior. Otherwise, the house is pretty modern—not least because of the appliances and because of updates such as a new heating-and-AC system.

How much for the whole thing, including garage parking for three and about a half-acre of land? $1,949,000 through Coldwell Banker.
