Neighborhood:
The house is in a prime Lowell School neighborhood close to Belmont’s Waverley Square, which has a supermarket, a Wheelworks bike store, access to an MBTA bus, and is close to the commuter rail. It’s a quick shot into Belmont’s Cushing Square, Watertown Square, the Arsenal Mall, the Mass Pike, Cambridge, and Boston.
Following the Waverley Trail from Waverly Square, one is led toward Beaver Brook Reservation, state conservation area, 59 acres of open fields, wetlands and woodlands. Ponds, fields, marsh, a cascading waterfall, and trees descended from Waverley Oaks, a grove of about two dozen large and ancient trees that in the 1890s led to the establishment of the world’s first land trust, as well as the nation’s first public regional park authority. Near Lowell school, Victory Field, and Watertown Library.
