Property Description
Step into a piece of Watertown's rich history! Brimming with antique charm, this circa-1840 home offers a rare blend of preserved original features and thoughtful updates. Situated on a quiet level lot in a highly desirable neighborhood just one block from Taft School, the home welcomes you with a charming wraparound porch, complete with a screened-in section perfect for relaxing summer evenings. Inside, you'll find two fireplaces, a formal dining room with built-in china cabinet, and a cozy step-down eat-in kitchen. Upstairs three bedrooms surround a flex space that would make a great office space or play area. A full bath with shower completes the second floor. Practical updates include a new roof (2022), newer boiler and a one-year-old water heater, while a newer shed offers convenient yard storage. Despite its early-19th-century origins, this home provides a surprising amount of storage space and modern comforts, including a main-level full bath with laundry and off-street parking. Originally built on Woodbury Road in 1840 and moved to its current Wheeler Street location in 1918, this residence invites you to write your own chapter in it's long history. With many of its original details still intact, this distinctive property is a rare opportunity to own a historic home in a prime location.
