About this home

Belmont Hill at its finest. Tucked into a serene, peaceful setting, this oversized, multi-level home offers the kind of warmth and flexibility buyers are always hoping to find. Arched openings create a natural flow while still giving each space its own identity. The front living room feels more like a library retreat with a fireplace. Just behind, the casual family room offers the perfect spot to spread out, watch a game, or simply relax. The dining room with built-ins connects seamlessly to the oversized kitchen, which overlooks the spacious backyard. The first level offers one bedroom with an en-suite bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a family bath. Upstairs, the primary suite feels tucked away with a large closet and private en-suite bath. The lower level offers fantastic bonus space, including a playroom/media room, laundry, and a half bath. Outside, beautiful gardens and a lovely patio create the perfect backdrop for al-fresco dinners or quiet mornings

About Belmont

Hill

Belmont Hill, located between Belmont Center and Fresh Pond Reservation, is a residential and hillside Belmont neighborhood with winding streets and broad treetop views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Belmont Center at Leonard Street and Concord Avenue, where independent cafes, a classic cinema marquee, and small specialty shops set a polished, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean Colonial Revival and mid-century homes, with stone walls and mature plantings shaping the streetscape. The hilltop geography brings a quieter feel, while paths and park edges pull daily routines outdoors. Community pillars include The Belmont Bookshop, The Loading Dock Gallery, and the historic Belmont World Film series at the Belmont Cinema.
