This custom built 82 year-old English colonial home is one of the most unique properties in the area and a must see for any potential Belmont homebuyer. Its interior and exterior designs display many architectural details and those features are quickly flaunted curbside with its storybook appearance, brick construction and accents, original copper cutters and rare Spanish tiled roof.

Inside, the structural interest continues with many eye catching characteristics, such as exposed beams, natural restored woodwork in the windows, doors, kitchen cabinets, oak floors and built-ins. The original stucco walls and sloping room designs also add an exceptionally appealing dimension to many common spaces.

The home boasts over 2,000 square feet of living space throughout three finished levels. The 24 x 12 square foot living room greets guests and warmly introduces this imaginative home with natural fibers drenching the space with exposed ceiling beams, wood accents, custom shades and a brick fireplace. The adjacent intimate dining area shares those natural cozy accents while the kitchen takes a slightly modern twist on the home's charming theme with upgraded, high-end cherry cabinets with Italian hardware, emerald pearl granite surfaces and stainless steel appliances.

The second floor offers a large 21 x 13 square foot master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an updated en-suite full bath with a Myson hydronic towel warmer, two additional bedrooms with generously-sized closets and a full family bath. The third level supplies many options for expanded or private living quarters with two additional bedrooms and a full bath with an antique claw-foot bathtub.

All facets of this property have been noticeably fabricated with liberal measurements, innovative designs and grand beautifications. Just a few examples include, its large, level lot and backyard, the abundance of storage space, including the basement and full attic and the heated garage and a wide brick driveway. Even the landscape stretches beyond the imagination with a magnificent Dutch perennial garden, flowering trees and lush bushes and the custom iron trellis with a wisteria vine.

This Richardson Rd. property is conveniently located in the coveted Burbank district and within walking distance to the Burbank Elementary, Chenery Middle and Belmont High School and a block away from the Belmont Center-Harvard Square bus stop. It offers the location, the curbside attraction and an interior with comfort and unique attractions. It is hard to come up with any feature this home does not provide.
