A lovely folk Victorian with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a partially finished basement, central air-conditioning, and off-street parking, it also has a built-in swimming pool in its spacious back yard, perfect for summer fun. A deck just off the kitchen overlooks the yard and pool, and a bluestone patio abuts a small garage currently used for storage. The house has a letter of compliance with the state's lead-paint laws. One-way Cushing Street spans the Strawberry Hill neighborhood: at one end is Fresh Pond Reservation with municipal golf course and tennis courts and newly renovated Glacken Field, at the other end is Sofra Bakery, MBTA buses, Star Market, and the glories of Mount Auburn Cemetery, with Haggerty Elementary School located mid-block. The new Watertown-Cambridge Greenway is just a block away. 63 Cushing Street is a special urban oasis awaiting its next owner!
