Property Description
In the historic heart of Watertown, upon a gentle rise, stands a dwelling first erected in 1778, a house of noble timber and timeless spirit. With four chambers and a modest fifth room well suited for study, sewing, or quiet reflection, it welcomes those who favor grace over grandeur. The floors, wide and warm beneath one's step, speak of ages past. Two grand hearths (fireplaces) anchor the parlour and family room, while built-in cupboards lend charm and purpose in each gathering space. The eat-in kitchen, both handsome and practical, boasts a gas cooktop alongside new appliances, ready for the day's first coffee or a well-prepared supper. Beyond lies a sunroom, where the morning's light dances freely, and through the dining room doors, a peaceful stone patio beckons perfect for summer evenings or dew-kissed dawns. The primary chamber offers not just rest, but a quiet sitting area and clever built-in closets tucked within the walls. A walk-up attic offers great space for storage. With new mechanicals including a 200-amp service and water heater, comfort meets tradition with ease. Set upon nearly half an acre in a most serene setting, and but a short distance to the venerable Taft School, this home is a rare and dignified offering to those who seek beauty, history, and peace.
