Rare East Watertown cottage with south-facing front porch, fenced yard, and gardens. Nestled at the end of a private way, yet just steps to the 71 bus and the shops and conveniences of Coolidge Square, this charming two-bedroom features an expanded open living/dining room with wood-burning stove and built-in shelving. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, granite counters, a gas stove, and shelved pantry. Completing the main living level are a tiled full bath and laundry closet. Upstairs, there is another tiled full bath, the primary bedroom with two closets, and a second bedroom. There are oak floors throughout, recessed lighting, central air conditioning, and solar panels. The unfinished basement has both a bulkhead and interior access, and the flexible-use paved area can accommodate up to four cars or serve as a patio or play space. A sweet retreat within easy reach of Arsenal Yards, Harvard Square, and all that East Watertown has to offer.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
