Watertown Home of the Week: 36-38 Gilbert St.

This two-family home has been updated and maintained and is immediately ready to serve as a valuable investment property or a permanent residence. Tour it today at the open house!

This beautifully-maintained two-family home on Gilbert St. is being offered for purchase with many financial and convenient advantages, but perhaps its greatest and direct asset is its condition. Both units within this property feature updated kitchens and baths and original gumwood moldings and have been sustained and renewed for its owners and/or tenants to move in with virtually no preliminary labor or expenses.

Every room within both residences has been painted in neutral tones and gleaming hardwood floors to offer a crisp, blank canvas to compliment individual decorating preferences. Each unit offers six rooms, which include spacious living rooms, dining rooms, fully equipped renovated eat-in kitchens, two bedrooms and a full modernized bath. The third floor also boasts two additional bedrooms and bonus storage space.

Both units also include private front and back porches and a large 8,000-square-foot level yard to provide for outdoor leisure and recreational interests. There is also a detached garage and a double, elongated driveway for residential and guest parking.

This property would make an excellent investment rental prospect with the first floor unit commanding a $1,550 monthly lease and the second floor at $1,300 or as an owner-occupied residence for an extended family. It is also currently marketed as two distinct condominiums for individual purchase.

The exterior has been vinyl sided and the entire structure contains vinyl replacement windows so structural maintenance is secure and minimal. The term "turn-key" is an incredibly accurate realty description to portray this fantastic opportunity. Its economic benefits and beautiful aesthetics allow residents to simply move in and enjoy the comforts of their beautiful home.
