House of the Week: Lakeside home in central Newton, steps from T stop, has wrap-around porch, home gym, 6 bedrooms

Living by the lake within walking distance of a T-stop isn’t very common, but there’s a Boston-area home on the market that ticks both of these boxes.
12 Lake Terrace at Newton Center recently entered the market with an asking price of just under $ 5.5 million. Just steps from the Newton Center MBTA stop, this home sits right on the shores of Crystal Lake.
The house, built in 1899, has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and 5,400 square feet of living space and spans about a quarter of an acre.
