Original hardwood floors gleam under ample sunlight, preserving the home's authentic charm while offering modern comfort. Each unit is thoughtfully designed, providing inviting living spaces that feel both private and expansive, reflecting a quality of life deeply rooted in the neighborhood's rich heritage.
Beyond its picturesque aesthetics, 738 Watson Avenue functions as a robust investment. With one unit already leased through 2027, this property ensures a stable, immediate income stream, alleviating the typical concerns of new ownership.

Its practical layout includes a two-car garage and a generous unfinished basement, adding valuable utility and storage space for both occupants.
This isn't merely a building; it's a strategic asset in a thriving community. The home's distinct character and proven rental history underscore its intrinsic value, making it a rare find for those seeking both tangible beauty and financial foresight.
