About this home

Effortless serenity awaits in this classic, brick townhouse in vibrant Watertown. Awash in light, this turn-key, two bedroom beauty sacrifices neither form nor function, with its clean, up-dated look, off-street parking, central A/C, in-unit laundry, and private outdoor space. The open concept kitchen features gas cooking, dishwasher, built in microwave, upgraded cabinets, and a breakfast bar with additional under counter storage. The finished basement provides bonus space for a guest room, office, work out area, or media room. The generously sized primary bedroom can easily fit a king-sized bed. Hardwood floors throughout. Additional storage in the attic and unfinished portion of the basement. Association fee includes use of the association pool and clubhouse, as well as one parking space. Centrally located near the Belmont line, this home is walkable to the MBTA commuter rail at Waverly, as well as area schools, shopping and restaurants. Easy commute into the city.
