247 Washington St

A low-rise brick condominium complex built in 1975, organized as three-story townhouse-style rowhouses. Units are typically multi-level duplex or triplex layouts with 2–6 bedroom arrangements, vaulted or cathedral ceilings on upper floors, and a mix of formal and informal rooms such as living and dining rooms, dens, lofts, media/play rooms, and offices. Many residences feature refinished hardwood floors, skylights, custom closets, and second full or half bathrooms on upper levels; lower levels often provide a finished family or bonus room plus in-unit laundry and substantial storage or walk-up attic access. Exterior character leans toward traditional New England brick and mansard/tudor-influenced roofs, set around landscaped courtyards and stone-walled patios; deeded private patios or small rear yards are common. Shared site amenities emphasize modest, well-maintained grounds — professional landscaping, decorative lighting, and paved walkways — with assigned or deeded off-street parking for residents. The association typically covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, and some utilities (heat/hot water in some units), and pet policies and exact service levels vary by unit. Located within walking distance of Winchester center, commuter rail, schools, shops, and the Middlesex Fells Reservation, the community blends transit-accessible suburban living with townhouse privacy and small-scale shared outdoor spaces.
