About this home

Freshly updated and move-in ready, this bright 2BR Watertown condo just received a full refresh and is now vacant and styled for its next owner. The unit features new kitchen cabinetry and countertops, a newly enhanced bathroom with updated vanity and shower area, and fresh paint throughout for a clean, modern feel. Offering approx. 600 sq. ft. of efficient single-level living, the layout includes two well-sized bedrooms, a functional bath, and a comfortable living area. Previously tenant-occupied with a strong rental history, the condo is now presented as a turnkey option for both investors and owner-occupants. Despite the upgrades, the price remains the same, making this one of Watertown’s best values for an updated 2BR. Conveniently located near schools, shopping, dining, and commuter routes.
