About This Home
Step into a piece of Watertown's rich history at 52 Wheeler Street, a residence brimming with antique character and timeless appeal. This home offers a rare blend of preserved original details and essential modern updates. Situated on a quiet, level lot just one block from the prestigious Taft School, the property welcomes you with a classic wraparound porch, featuring a screened-in section perfect for tranquil summer evenings. The interior reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era, anchored by a cozy fireplace and a formal dining room. The layout is both functional and inviting, highlighted by a charming step-down eat-in kitchen and a convenient main-level full bath with integrated laundry. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms surround a versatile flex space, ideal for a home office or playroom, while a second full bath completes the level. Beyond its historic beauty, the home boasts significant practical improvements for total peace of mind, including a new roof (2022), a newer boiler, and a one-year-old water heater. Abundant storage space-a rare find for a home of this age-is supplemented by a newer outdoor shed and off-street parking. This distinctive property presents a rare opportunity to own a storied historic home in one of Watertown's most desirable neighborhoods.
