Stylish & sunny & move-in ready, this top-tier 7th-story corner unit offers an ideal blend of space, modern updates, & effortless everyday living on the Watertown/ Newton line. West-facing windows provide stunning sunsets from the living room balcony & primary bedroom! New glass sliders connect updated balcony to living room space. Inside, the open layout connects the living & dining area, all anchored by strand-woven bamboo flooring. The renovated kitchen is equipped with shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, & stainless appliances. Both bedrooms are spacious & feature plush carpeting. The oversized primary bedroom has double closets, brand-new picture windows with screens & can easily accommodate a king-size bed setup. The updated full bathroom has a tub/ shower combo & completes the immaculate interior. Two built-in AC units keep the condo cool during the warmer months. Beyond the front door, this mid-rise elevator building offers a convenient lifestyle with fantastic amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool with a lounge deck, a dedicated bike storage room, on-site shared laundry facilities, & a double-sized storage closet on ground-floor. Living here also includes two parking spaces—one covered garage spot & an additional oversized exterior space in the outdoor lot. The unbeatable location puts you just steps from Newton Corner and minutes to Watertown Square. Public transit includes downtown express bus (right outside the building) & short ride to Harvard Square. The Mass Pike is accessed just blocks away providing a short commute into Boston.
