Belmont Home of the Week: 1 Radcliffe Rd.

Fluid, open spaces. This outstanding custom-built multi-level home was skillfully fabricated in 1978 to withstand the progression of residential building with its timeless design and a floor plan that parallels the new construction of today. It is comprised of 11 above-ground rooms that often flow effortlessly to accommodate large families and combine their uses for streamlined entertaining. It has also been lovingly sustained by its current long-time owner with significant updates and continuance maintenance, all to the benefit of its next fortunate title holder.

The main floor consists of an 18 x 15 square foot sunken living room with an oversized floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace that spills directly into a 15 x 12 square foot dining area. The spacious 20 x 13 square foot modern chef's kitchen offers an abundance of counter space, and seating is available at a handy center island or a lovely breakfast nook under a bay window that overlooks the rear landscape. The 16 x 13 square foot family room also boasts a brick fireplace and includes a slider to easily oscillate activities onto the attached deck.

Only seven steps lead to the second level that hosts a large 21 x 13 square foot master suite (another progressive feature for this age home) with a walk-in closet and full, private bath, two additional bedrooms at 11 x 10 and 12 x 10 square feet, a full, family bath and a 9 x 7 square foot laundry center. The above-ground lower level can accommodate various uses, including an in-law suite, guest lodging or simply a favored entertainment center. This spectacular floor offers a cozy 18 x 13 square foot playroom with a fireplace set in a full wall of brick, a fully-equipped wet bar, kitchen and a bedroom with a full bath.

In addition to its comfortable and versatile surroundings, this home supplies many amenities and conveniences, such as central vacuum, a security system, whole-house fan, oversized deck and an attached two-car garage. One visit to this property and it will be easy to understand the longevity of its current owners. This is the type of residence that will fulfill the needs of an evolving family and that decision will be backed with a lifetime of personal memories.
