Watertown Home of the Week: 12 Kimball Road, Unit 1

There are many remnants of this property's original 1880 period architecture and those period accent never go out of style and are most welcome. But renovations this year to this three-unit condominium building have created this spacious and eclectic unit that perfectly blend the designs of yesterday with contemporary styles that adhere and compliment the design preference and lifestyles of today's homebuyers.

The open floor plan and elevated nine foot ceilings impressively expand the already spacious 1,642 dimensions of this first floor unit. The oversized 17 x 19 square foot living room/family room is conveniently neighbors the kitchen and offers a gas fireplace, custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a charming window seat. The kitchen is a culinary gourmet haven with stainless steel Bosch appliances, granite surfaces, a wine refrigerator and a center island that doubles as a breakfast bar and includes a charming 12 x 13 square foot dining area.

The 16 x 14 square foot master suite offers a luxurious setting for its owners with a walk-in closet and full, private bath. Two additional generously-sized bedrooms provide 14 x 15 and 13 x 14 square feet of living space and share a second full bath. A 6 x 4 square foot laundry area and a bonus room that would make an ideal office or den are also included in this versatile blueprint.

Many other amenities are included in the purchase and occupancy of this unit, including a security alarm system, door intercom with release, an enclosed screened porch and three-car parking. This address is conveniently situated just steps to the Coolidge Square "T" stop, local shopping and restaurants and just minutes to Harvard Square and Boston.
