This charming Dutch colonial is located on a lovely dead-end street just a few blocks from Watertown Square. The gracious floor plan features an elegant foyer, a large living room with a fireplace and mantel, a formal dining room with a built-in china cabinet, and a sun-filled eat-in kitchen. The main stairwell has an oversized arched window that floods the upstairs with light. The spacious master bedroom, which was originally two rooms, has a sitting area and two closets. The entire home is bright and cheerful, with walls of divided light windows refurbished by the current owner. There is also ample closet space throughout and the basement has a laundry area, cedar closet and workshop. One of the many attractive qualities of this well-maintained property is the inviting, south-facing backyard with a patio, lush perennials, and a border of evergreens. Close by are restaurants, shops, and public transportation.
