Set within The Woodlands at Belmont Hill, this meticulously maintained end-unit townhome offers a rare combination of space, thoughtful upgrades and low-maintenance living in a location convenient to Belmont, Cambridge and Boston. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, hardwood floors and a gas fireplace create a bright, open setting for everyday living and entertaining, while a beautifully renovated chef’s kitchen—with Thermador cooking, new countertops and backsplash, refinished cabinetry and carefully selected fixtures—reflects the attention to detail found throughout the home. Glass doors extend the living space to a generous composite deck overlooking the open landscape beyond, creating an inviting place to dine, entertain or simply unwind. The first-floor primary suite is a standout, offering the ease of main-level living with two walk-in closets and a spacious private bath complete with double vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a loft and flexible living space upstairs, along with a finished lower level featuring a fourth bedroom, full bath and expansive bonus space, provide exceptional versatility. Smart-home technology, custom window treatments, a standby generator and thoughtful recent updates add another layer of comfort and convenience. With landscaping, snow removal and exterior maintenance handled by the association, there is more time to enjoy nearby Waverley Square, Belmont Center, conservation trails and recreation, with commuter options and easy access to Cambridge and Boston. Thoughtfully updated, exceptionally cared for and designed for the way you want to live.

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.
