About this home

WHAT IF YOUR NEXT HOME CAME WITH LOWER MORTGAGE PAYMENTS FOR YOUR FIRST TWO YEARS? Welcome to 559 Main Street, Watertown, MA—a move-in-ready single-family home combining flexible living space, outdoor enjoyment, a convenient location, and a SELLER OFFERED 2/1 mortgage rate BUYDOWN!Offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and just over 1,900 square feet of total living space, this home puts you within close proximity of local restaurants, shops, and public transportation connecting you to Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham. Inside, a spacious living room, full bathroom, and open kitchen and dining area create a welcoming main level, flowing into a versatile three-season sunroom. Upstairs, three bedrooms and another full bathroom provide comfortable everyday living. Need more room? The finished walk-out basement with half bath offers flexible space for a home office, playroom, guest area, or additional living space. Love the outdoors? Open the sunroom on three sides to connect with the deck and backyard—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying time with family and friends. The fully fenced yard features white vinyl fencing and professionally installed sod, both added in 2020, plus beautifully maintained gardens. Enjoy privacy, room to play, and space for kids and dogs to enjoy the outdoors. With a SELLER-OFFERED 2/1 mortgage rate BUYDOWN, your effective mortgage rate is reduced by 2 percentage points in year 1, reduced by 1 percentage point in year 2, and in year 3 onward: payments return to the amount based on your original note rate. This incentive can mean lower initial monthly principal-and-interest payments, giving you more breathing room for moving costs, furniture, and rebuilding your savings. Move-in-ready comfort. Flexible living space. A fenced backyard. Convenient Watertown living. And a mortgage incentive designed to help ease the transition into homeownership.Don't just look at the asking price—consider the opportunity! Actual savings depend on loan amount, note rate, loan program, lender approval, and buydown terms.
