Offered for the first time in more than 80 years, this classic circa-1857 Mansard-style three-family, with more than 3,800 sf of living space, presents a value-add opportunity for owner-occupants, investors, developers, and alike. Ready for its next chapter, the property offers the opportunity to restore to its original architectural charm or explore a range of possibilities, including condominium conversion and building expansion. The generous 12,550-square-foot lot with six off-street parking spaces further enhances the property's significant upside development appeal and long-term investment potential. Ideally located just a few blocks from vibrant Watertown Square, offering easy access to restaurants, cafés, the public library, banks, pharmacies, and everyday amenities. Roughly one mile from Exit 127 off the Massachusetts Turnpike at Newton Corner, the location provides excellent commuter access to Cambridge, Downtown Boston and Logan International Airport.
Watertown West End, located between the Charles River and Belmont, is a residential and commercial Watertown neighborhood with riverfront paths and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Arsenal St at School St, where sidewalk storefronts, coffee counters, and small studios meet steady foot traffic. Community pillars include the Mosesian Center for the Arts, the Majestic 7 movie theater, and the Watertown Free Public Library. Brick mill buildings and mid-century apartment blocks mix with compact side streets of classic New England houses. The Charles River Greenway frames daily routines with long views and bike flow. Arsenal Yards adds a modern plaza feel without overpowering the older fabric.
