Description

This is one of Watertown's best values. A top buy. In 1962, a young couple moved into this comfortable, sun-lit home and built wonderful memories. Now it is your turn to build your own memories. Big living and dining rooms, large eat-in kitchen, 3 good-sized bedrooms in each unit. The unit currently rented could easily expect to bring in a higher price, making a significant contribution to the monthly mortgage cost. Rent has been kept low to keep unit occupied by current desirable tenants. 2nd floor...This is one of Watertown's best values. A top buy. In 1962, a young couple moved into this comfortable, sun-lit home and built wonderful memories. Now it is your turn to build your own memories. Big living and dining rooms, large eat-in kitchen, 3 good-sized bedrooms in each unit. The unit currently rented could easily expect to bring in a higher price, making a significant contribution to the monthly mortgage cost. Rent has been kept low to keep unit occupied by current desirable tenants. 2nd floor unit is virtually identical to 1st floor One 2nd floor bedroom is slightly larger and there is a porch/deck on the first floor. Newer hot water heaters, modern boilers. Everything well maintained. An outdoor grill and a grape arbor! This is what you're looking for in a two family: good condition, good income, good location!
