At A Glance

A dead-end street, four miles from Boston.

Built in 1945 and renovated for the way people live now, this Colonial gives a growing household something Greater Boston rarely offers at once: four full baths, two laundry areas, a finished lower level, and a fenced yard, all on a tree-lined dead end where the traffic simply stops.

Room By Room

The renovation runs through every floor: a fireplaced living room open to the kitchen, a vaulted sunroom that catches the afternoon, a spa-bath primary suite, and a finished lower level that does the work of a second home. Book a private walk-through to stand inside it.

The Residence

A house that flexes around you.

The main level reads like a single, connected room. The fireplaced living room opens to a beautifully renovated kitchen, so the cook is never out of the conversation, and a large dining room sits ready for the nights that run long. A first-floor bedroom and a full bath make the ground floor work for guests, parents, or anyone who would rather not take the stairs.

Off the back, a heated sunroom under a vaulted wood ceiling steps out to the deck. It is the room that earns its keep in October and again in April, the one you end up living in. Upstairs, the primary suite carries a jetted soaking tub, a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet with custom organizers, and attic storage you will actually use. Two more well-proportioned bedrooms, another full bath, and second-floor laundry finish the level.

Then there is the lower level, fully finished, with a family room, a home office, a full bath, a second laundry area, and its own exterior access. Call it an in-law suite, a teenager's floor, or the place the work-from-home day finally has a door. The fenced yard waits outside for the rest of it.

The Primary

A jetted soaking tub, a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet with custom organizers, and attic access for the overflow. The retreat the rest of the house points toward.

The Details

What makes it singular.

Finished Lower Level

Family room, home office, full bath, second laundry, and a separate exterior entrance for in-law or work-from-home use.

The Neighborhood

Watertown, close to everything.

Watertown sits along the Charles River just west of Boston and Cambridge, a town that trades the city's noise for its convenience. The riverfront paths, Watertown Square, and the shops and restaurants of Arsenal Yards are all close, and the commute into Kendall Square or downtown is a short one.

Hawthorne Street itself is the draw: a tree-lined dead end where the through-traffic never comes, minutes from the river and from the heart of Greater Boston at once.
