Key Features: Interior: 3 spacious bedrooms, 1 full bath, heated porches, plus excellent storage or expansion potential in the basement and walk-up attic. Exterior: A rare 0.52-acre flat yard featuring a deck and a giant storage shed-perfect for gardening, entertaining, or a future workshop.

Whether you are a first-time buyer looking to build sweat equity, a renovator seeking a rewarding project, or someone who loves historic charm with room to grow. Watertown is a charming, family-friendly town located in the Naugatuck Valley Planning Region of Litchfield County. With a population of approximately 22,000, it delivers a relaxed, quasi-rural/suburban feel while providing easy access to everyday amenities. Residents enjoy a median household income above the state average, low crime rates compared to many nearby areas, and a strong sense of community.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love nearby parks, hiking trails, lakes, and open spaces for year-round activities. Schools & Education Watertown is served by the Watertown School District, which includes John Trumbull Primary (Pre-K-2), Judson and Polk Elementary Schools (3-5), Swift Middle School (6-8), and Watertown High School (9-12). The district earns solid marks for academics and extracurriculars, with a focus on preparing students for college and career success.
