Imagine a perfect summer evening: relaxing on your wraparound porch, chatting with friends, enjoying the pleasures of neighborhood living. Among many other things, this is what 11 Capitol St has provided its current owners for more than 2 decades. Now that the time has come for them to move on, someone new will have the opportunity to settle on this leafy side street between Watertown Square & Newton Corner. The large single family home retains its original charm but has been thoughtfully improved & updated to support a contemporary lifestyle. The house boasts 4 beds, 2 full baths, comfortable eat-in kitchen, family room w/ fireplace, & living room graced w/ exquisite woodwork. The exterior has been future-proofed w/ low-maintenance HardiePlank shingles & Azek trim, & a custom garage built in 1997 features a fantastic workspace on its 2nd floor. The yard offers endless opportunities for gardening, while the paved driveway works equally well for shooting hoops or parking multiple cars.
