This inviting property offers spacious living areas, flexible bonus spaces, and numerous improvements.

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. Enjoy easy access to Watertown Square, the Charles River, Arsenal Yards, Cambridge, and Boston — a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in a highly desirable location.
