Watertown Home of the Week: 76-78 Edgecliff Road

This handsome and traditional two-family home in East Watertown is an ideal illustration of this town's advantageous real estate market. Not only does it provide versatile living accommodations for extended families, it also offers excellent economical options for homeowners.

In line with many of its residential counterparts, this 82-year-old structure boasts an eclectic blend of vintage features, spacious room dimensions and timeless architecture, which remain well-admired and desirable characteristics with prospective title holders and renters.

The first-floor unit offers six rooms, two bedrooms and a full bath, while the second-floor unit supplies seven rooms, two bedrooms and a full bath. Both floors provide graciously sizable measurements, elevated ceilings, fireplaced living rooms, built-in china cabinets, crown moldings, hardwood flooring, an oversized eat-in kitchen with an abundance of counters and cabinetry, a private porch and a bonus space that could be utilized as a home office or den. The top level also boasts a heated, walk-up attic for an added benefit with wall-to-wall carpeting.

Each unit comes with garage access for one car with tandem driveway parking and both share a common-entry porch, walk-out basement space and more than 5,000 square feet of an outdoor landscape.

Located on the Belmont and Cambridge lines, this property is convenient for commuting, shopping and eating at nearby restaurants, and it has easy access to Boston. But, it is still sited on a quiet side street for residents who prefer to experience both a city and suburban lifestyle. Homeowners will enjoy years of comfort and expediency in this centrally-located home, and investors have plenty to offer to attract renters.
