The Kistler House is a historic house at 945 Beacon Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The 2 1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1893, and is one of Newton Center's most elaborate Colonial Revival houses. It has a veranda that wraps around two sides of the house, although a porch shelters the front facade. The porch is supported by clusters of slender columns, with a projecting central section framing the main entrance, which has leaded glass sidelight windows. A Palladian window stands above the main entrance, and the cornice line is embellished with egg-and-dart moulding, dentil moulding, and a frieze decorated with swags. Andrew Kistler, the owner, was a leather dealer working in Boston.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
