Overview

This hard-to-find brick two-family duplex offers two spacious apartments with bright first-floor living rooms, dining areas, and kitchens. Both units also include two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Hardwood floors run throughout both apartments. A full, separate basement serves each unit, providing substantial storage and room to expand with the right vision. The property also includes a 2-car garage, adding valuable on-site parking and convenience.

Located at 55–57 York Ave in Watertown, the home is positioned in the highly sought-after Lowell School district. The exterior includes a private rear yard suitable for outdoor grilling and everyday use.

For an owner-occupant, this layout supports comfortable, separate living while retaining flexibility through the basement space. For investors, the duplex configuration provides two distinct apartment homes under one roof. The combination of in-unit living areas, hardwood flooring, dedicated basements, and garage makes the property practical for a range of residential income strategies, including long-term ownership and condo-conversion planning.
