About this home
Nestled on a one-way street, sits this newly renovated cottage with easy access to all Waltham has to offer. A blend of old and new, this sun-filled home has maintained much of its original character while being elegantly updated for modern living. With its many "green elements”, this bespoke home offers an efficient kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and breakfast bar. A sliding glass door off the kitchen leads to an oversized, private patio, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. Upstairs is a large bedroom with room for a work-from-home space, and includes a skylight, ample closet space, and built-in dresser drawers. A well-appointed, new bath with skylight complete this level. 2021 boiler, hot water heater and updated electrical and plumbing. New roof and solid bamboo flooring. Two+ car parking. This single family home offers a condo alternative, with close proximity to the train to Boston and the shops and restaurants on Moody Street.
