    High on the hill on one of Watertown's most beautiful residential side streets, set back from the sidewalk, and turned sideways to allow maximum sun exposure, this spacious & well-designed single-family residence offers what buyers seek: elegant and generous spaces for entertaining, including an oversized living room with three exposures and a fireplace with a beautiful hand-carved mantelpiece; hardwood floors and good-size windows throughout; 5 bedrooms with a spacious master bedroom. 3 full baths & 2 half-baths. The library on the 3rd floor has magnificent sweeping views of the property's garden and yard, as well as of lovely neighboring houses and gardens. At the lower level, there is a very large recreation room with 2 murals painted by a celebrated children's book illustrator. European-style wine cellar & bright laundry room. Gas-fueled Buderus boiler has 5 zones. There is a large workshop with a built-in bench. Showings begin at Sunday open house 12:00-1:30
