The Kistler House is a historic house at 945 Beacon Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The {{frac|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.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=nwt.2878|title=NRHP nomination for Kistler House|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-04-16}}
