East Watertown. Nestled on a quiet street off Mount Auburn, this classic bungalow has been tastefully reimagined, blending its traditional Arts and Crafts elements—welcoming front porch, built-in cabinetry, bay windows, prominent posts, brick fireplace, and leaded glass panes—with contemporary elegance marked by clean lines, a soft and neutral palette, and modern touches throughout. A gracious entry hall gives a taste of what’s to come—bright, inviting, thoughtful, and connected. Generous living and dining rooms, an efficient kitchen, powder room and mudroom. Upstairs, the primary suite takes the spotlight with its spa-like bathroom, joined by two more bedrooms that share a full bath. On the lower level, entertaining, exercise, and flex use rooms with a full bath offer elbow room to spare. Outside, an office shed, oversized garage, EV charger, and fenced-in yard seal the deal. Convenient East End launchpad to Arsenal Yards, Charles River, Private Schools, Cambridge, Boston, and beyond.

This gracious 1903 Bungalow has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners over the last ten years. A new back deck and the beautifully landscaped garden afford a relaxing spot for outdoor entertaining. The reconfigured kitchen now has a mudroom and features granite counters and stainless appliances. Their biggest project transformed the basement into a comfortable family room and separate children’s play area, with a full bathroom and a bonus room for guests or an office. All the while they’ve lovingly preserved the home’s original Arts and Crafts details, like leaded glass windows, the grand built-in china cabinet and the dining room’s wainscot. The second floor has four spacious, light-filled bedrooms, plus a classic New England sleeping porch and city views. 39 Upland Road is located in the vibrant East End, home to fun restaurants, shops and services. All just 2.5 miles from Harvard Square, a quick jaunt to the Charles River, and an easy commute to Boston and beyond.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Watertown's urban-suburban feeling paired with its proximity to Cambridge & Boston have caused it to rapidly transform into a destination for home buyers. Historically a manufacturing city, it has changed into a restaurant, shopping, and biotech hub...
with a completely built-out residential landscape.
