Watertown Home of the Week: 8 Gill Road

This quaint single-family has all the makings of a traditional New England Cape. It boasts traditional architectural lines, presents a classic curbside color scheme and rests on a beautifully-landscaped 5,000 square foot level piece of land. Just what you would expect from its title and reputation. What is surprising, however, is its spacious interior, flattering and bold color staging and impeccable condition.

This spacious home offers nearly 1,400 square feet of living space distributed throughout three finished levels, not including two bonus rooms in the finished basement. Each room has been finished with vivid, stunning choices and gleaming hardwood flooring and reveals a temperament and ambiance even before one piece of furniture or personal enhancements have entered the space. In total, this residence features six rooms, four bedrooms with skylights and ceiling fans and two full baths. As mentioned, the semi-finished basement also offers two bonus rooms not included in the listed square footage or room count which augments its living options and opportunities.

Its outdoor accommodations also provide many flexible leisure and recreational choices with a patio, fenced-in private landscape and oversized two-story detached garage. This housing accessory can be utilized or converted to accommodate its future owner's preferences to hold a boat, larger vehicles or even renovated into a studio.

Commuters will benefit from the convenience of this home's location near the commuter rail and bus lines and all residents will enjoy the many restaurant and shopping choices offered nearby this lovely neighborhood. This property is a great value not only in terms of price but also for the depth of its content as well as its physical condition. This home has provided a secure and comfortable setting for over six decades and conscientious residents are paying it forward with a lovely updated home with a solid foundation that will serve up many more years of happiness and comfort for its next fortunate occupants.
