Located just outside of Watertown Square this is the commuter's dream home! A recently updated kitchen set the stage for this beautiful antique colonial. The first floor features an oversized living room with hardwood floors, a beautiful foyer, large eat-in-kitchen, 3 season porch and a full bath with laundry. The second floor opens to two large bedrooms separated by a full bath. The third floor is a fantastic potential 3rd and 4th bedroom with it's own exterior access. A short walk to Saltonstall Park, the Express Bus to Downtown and more. It's time to call Watertown home!

This antique home is in move in condition with large rooms. Kitchen and baths have been updated. Two bedrooms on second floor, two bedrooms (no bath) on third. Could use a little bit of finish work to make this sparkle.
