About this home

Pristine 2-family home in the much sought after Oakley Country Club / Mt Auburn St area. Each unit has 7rooms, 3bedrooms, working F/P, oak hardwood floors recently refinished, eat-in kitchens and side porches. Second floor has unfinished walk-up attic great for expansion potential. A full unfinished, dry walk-out basement and 2 car detached garage surrounded by a lovely neat as a pin yard with a fruit bearing pear tree. This home has been in the same family for 5 decades and has been lovingly maintained, heating systems were upgraded 2004/2005, garage floor and driveway redone 2004, roof replaced 2010. Some of the original gumwood woodwork is still untouched. This property would be a great candidate for condo conversion or it will continue be the wonderful 2 family it has been for the past 104 years with all its charm and character and a marvelous location. Don't miss this opportunity to own one of Watertown's finest 2-family homes.
