Overview

SWEAT EQUITY OPPORTUNITY 82 Porter Street, Watertown $284,999 3 bedrooms 1 bath 1,624 sf 0.52 level acre Public water. Public sewer. Available now. Most buyers in this town will pay $390,000 to $500,000 for a smaller house on a smaller lot because the kitchen cabinets are new. Same-size houses on half an acre are being offered well above this price. Porter Street is more house, a bigger usable yard, and about $115,000 less than that pack, because the cosmetic work is still open. Floors, paint, fixtures, and the kitchen are the remaining scope. The heavy work is already done. Oil tank removed and soil certified clean. Asbestos and vermiculite remediated. Electric upgraded. Third-party pre-inspection in the file. Clean title. It was under contract twice near $300,000 before that work was finished. It is $284,999 now. What is for sale is not a showroom. It is 1,624 square feet of 1919 house on a level half acre the new-cabinet listings do not have. Half an acre, level, all usable. About 22,650 square feet of yard, a red workshop already standing, public water and public sewer. Watertown allows one accessory dwelling on this R-10 lot, attached or detached, by zoning permit. On a 1,624-square-foot house the town cap is about 540 square feet and two bedrooms. Confirm the permit with the town before counting on it. The yard and the sewer are what make the application realistic.
