A wonderful location for this charming New England "cape" at the end of a quiet street. Countrylike setting and lots of privacy yet minutes to bus to Harvard Square. Enjoy the gardens of the lovely lot or the solitude of the heated porch. Carefuly maintained with some updates including heating system, replacement windows and more. Located in one of Watertown's most sought after neighborhoods.
