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.
