Newly built modern in Waltham drops for $975,000

The 1,980-square-foot, five-room modern house at 140 Hawthorne Road in Waltham went up just this year.

True to its form, it is a sleek and airy affair, with few interior walls and lots of natural light. There are also higher-end finishes such as sapele mahogany and leathered granite.

Plus, the price covers a two-car heated garage.

About that price: It’s $975,000—which the listing from the Janovitz-Tse Team at William Raveis notes means the house comes “without the prohibitive price that one typically finds in the Boston area.” What’d you think?
