Mount Pleasant is a historic estate house at 15 Bracebridge Road in Newton, Massachusetts. The two-story wood frame house was built c. 1856 by Roswell Turner, a major land owner and real estate developer in the Newton Centre area. It is a well-preserved example of the academic Italianate style, with a three-bay facade and hip roof with a small gable over the centered entry, and a three-story turret. The property was owned for many of the later years of the 19th century by Charles S. Davis, another major force in the development of Newton Centre.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
