About this property

Classic 1925 two-family in East Watertown, on a quiet block between Mount Auburn Street and Belmont Street, with hardwood through both floors under high ceilings, deep moldings and built-in china cabinets, and enclosed sunporches stacked front and back that keep every room bright. The first floor has eight rooms, two bedrooms, a full bath, formal dining with a corner built-in, an eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry. The second floor has three bedrooms, a renovated bath, living and dining opening through original French doors, a sunroom, and a walk-up attic above. The full basement runs the length of the house, partially finished, with laundry, workshop and a walkout to a level lawn, flagstone patio and storage shed, plus two off-street spaces on a paved drive. Separate entries and separate heating systems. Walk to the Mount Auburn Street bus into Harvard Square, minutes to Star Market, Arsenal Yards and the Charles River paths, quick to Route 2 and the Pike. Sold as-is. Live on one floor and rent the other, or take the whole building. Both units delivered vacant at closing, with the seller requesting some flexibility on the closing date.
