Exquisite Duplex With Timeless Charm And Modern Updates

WONDERFUL WATERTOWN! VIDEO: [hidden information] OPEN HOUSES: Sat, 8/15 12-1:30 pm & Sun, 8/16 2-3:30 pm Solid, meticulously maintained brick two-family in East Watertown, ideal for an investor or owner-occupant seeking immediate rental income. Built in 1939 and standing on a 5,500 square foot lot, this classic two-story duplex offers 1,750 square feet of living area across two mirrored two-bedroom, one-bath units — ten rooms total. Each unit features a bright living room, dining area, eat-in kitchen, screened porch, and two second-floor bedrooms with a full bathroom. Both units currently have long-term tenants in place, making this a turnkey income property from day one. This home has been meticulously maintained with a steady stream of big-ticket updates: a new roof in 2017, boilers replaced in 2019 and 2020, a new dishwasher installed December 2025, and a new washing machine added February 2026 — giving the next owner real peace of mind on major systems and appliances alike. The full basement is split into two individual sections — one per unit — each with its own utility/mechanical space and a semi-finished room offering flexible storage or non-sleeping bonus space, plus an installed waterproofing system. A detached two-car garage adds valuable off-street parking, a rare commodity in this part of Watertown. Location is a standout: the property sits directly across from the Lowell Elementary School and is just under one mile to the Waverley Commuter Rail stop for an easy inbound commute. It’s also close to MBTA bus lines and just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences of Coolidge Square — including Coolidge Hardware, Dunkin’, Artemis Yoga, and a mix of local eateries — as well as the broader dining and retail corridor along Trapelo Road in nearby Waverley Square. Commuters and shoppers alike will also appreciate easy access to Arsenal Yards and the Charles River Greenway/bike path system. With income already in place, meticulously maintained mechanical systems, and a location that checks the boxes for schools, transit, and walkable amenities; sixty-seven-sixty-nine York Ave offers a compelling combination of stability and long-term upside in one of Watertown’s most convenient East End pockets.
