Handsome early 20th-c. single-family residence. Lovely side street near summit of Watertown's great hill, across from Oakley Country Club. Modern enclosure makes elegant sun-filled windbreak before entering front hall. Large living room, amply proportioned dining room with built-in china cabinet. Nicely renovated kitchen opens to large sunporch, which opens to large deck overlooking the property’s extensive grounds. Splendid views down the hill & into the distance. House site allows excellent cross-ventilation. Hardwood floors throughout residence. At 2nd level, there are 4 nicely proportioned rooms, and a modern bath. Again, views from the rooms are charming & serene. Basement is large, & has high ceiling. Would make appealing workshop, playroom, or further finished space. Much renovation performed. Beautifully maintained property. Off-street parking for 2 cars. Rare to find a house in this condition on such a magnificent piece of land. Any offers to be reviewed Wednesday 9/25 at 1pm.
