About this home
This 1916 Belmont Hill cottage blends historical roots with modern opportunity. Built before the formal subdivision of the area, the interior features 2 bedrooms and a flexible home office, anchored by a full bath renovated in 2019 and a modern kitchen. Upstairs, a half bath and skylights in the primary bedroom offer comfort and a treehouse-feel. Solidly built on a fieldstone foundation, the home stays naturally comfortable through all seasons. Outside, the large yard and multiple seating areas create a sense of privacy and scale seldom found at this price point—a peaceful retreat just minutes from Belmont Center and the Commuter Rail. A well-built, cozy alternative to larger neighborhood estates, this home is a unique survivor of a bygone era, ready for its next chapter. A smart investment in location, character, and land on a rare double lot. Showings by appointment, text agent for times.
