FIXER WITH VISION IN BELMONT - A rare opportunity to reimagine 2,530 sf of living space on a flat 5,488 sf lot in a sought-after Belmont setting with excellent schools & convenient commutes. A new roof installed approximately 1 year ago adds an important head start. Behind the double-door entry, the expansive living/family room features vaulted ceilings, while the open kitchen flows to the dining area with wet bar. A separate formal living room with fireplace adds another generous gathering space. The split-level layout offers 2 BD & BA on the main level, plus laundry conveniently located off the kitchen/dining area. Upstairs, the spacious primary ensuite features a walk-in closet & private bath with plenty of room to create a beautiful retreat, plus an additional BD & 1/2 BA. A deep 1-car garage offers workshop space or tandem parking, w/ additional attic storage above. This is a true fixer with the space, flexibility & location to create something special. Builders, investors & visionaries, bring your architect & your ideas. With a new roof, flat lot, generous living space & flexible floor plan, the groundwork is here for someone to create something truly special. Homes with this much space in Belmont are extremely hard to find. Seize the opportunity to make it yours today.
