Character and quality meet major recent upgrades in this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, ideally located in one of Watertown's most sought-after neighborhoods. This inviting property offers spacious living areas, flexible bonus spaces, and numerous improvements. The updated kitchen features SS appliances, quartz countertops, a coordinating backsplash, and decorative wood wall trim. The adjoining family room boasts a cathedral ceiling and opens directly to the elevated deck, both offering wonderful views over the lush garden, perfect for spending quality time with friends and loved ones. The fireplaced living room showcases hardwood floors and opens into an oversized sunroom, ideal for a home office, den, or playroom. The dining room features hardwood floors, decorative molding, and a classic chair rail. The spacious primary bedroom includes 2 closets and a newly built private bath with natural light, a double-sink vanity, and enclosed glass walk-in shower. 2 additional good-sized bedrooms round out the second floor, while the main tiled bathroom is also bright and sunny, with a tub and shower. Another room on the 2nd floor offers a second home office option. The walk-up unfinished attic (with new skylights) and the basement, with its great ceiling height, both offer excellent expansion potential. There is also a one-car garage. Major updates include the kitchen, primary bathroom, windows, whole-house insulation, Navien hot water, 200-amp electrical, and main drainpipe replacement. Located just down the street from the brand-new net-zero Watertown High School and renovated Lowell Elementary School, and moments from Victory Field/Park.

ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,160 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 6,000 sq ft.
Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
