About This Property

Set in the heart of East Watertown, this beautifully updated first-floor condominium pairs classic character with thoughtful modern improvements. An inviting private front porch opens to a welcoming vestibule and a light-filled interior featuring high ceilings, oversized windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and original period moldings. The open living and dining areas flow naturally into the kitchen, which opens to an exclusive-use rear porch overlooking the private yard and garden. Three bedrooms offer generous closets and comfortable living space. Notable features include a new roof (2025), newly installed mini-split heat pump system for added efficiency, in-unit washer and dryer, deeded garage parking, one exterior parking space, freshly painted, and exclusive use of half the basement for storage. Just two blocks from the newly completed Hosmer Elementary School and athletic fields, with the Charles River and bike path and Arsenal Yards nearby. Convenient to Cambridge, Boston, major routes, and public transportation.
