About this home

Beautiful, well-sized, 5 bed/3.5 bath single family home built in 2014 on a quiet street in Watertown. The home is a blend of modern conveniences and traditional details. The first floor includes two separate living areas, one of which is open to the kitchen. Plenty of storage, access to the attached garage, and a half bath complete the first level. The second floor has a large master suite, two bedrooms, a full bathroom and a laundry room. Two more bedrooms and another full bath are on the third floor. The finished basement provides a great flex space. Many windows throughout the home allow for lots of natural light and beautiful sunset views from the back windows. The home sits on a well designed, landscaped lot. The fenced in backyard has beautiful hardscaping, including a large patio for entertaining. Located on the Watertown/Belmont border, it is an easy walk to the Waverly commuter rail or a short drive into the city. Many shops, restaurants, parks, trails and more are nearby.
