About this home

Set back from the lot line in a neighborhood of substantial residences, and sited on a large and level lot on a tree-lined residential side street high on Watertown’s great hill, this sunny turn-of-the-century single-family residence offers wonderful entertaining and family spaces, many bedrooms and studies, and three baths. Shady Hill, the Atrium School, and BB & N are close by. There is frequent bus service to Harvard and Watertown Squares. Renovated in the Contemporary Style, the house has high ceilings, hardwood floors, grand and open spaces, and superb light exposures. A unique floor plan allows for separate teenage hangouts, home offices, an au pair suite, and music practice. Gardeners and families with children will delight in the expansive grounds. A two-car garage and additional off-street parking spaces add to the comfort and convenience of this superbly located residence. Showings begin Friday by appointment.
