This spacious vintage colonial is a great opportunity for prospective homebuyers looking to enter the Belmont real estate market. Many of the homes in this highly desirable town are far beyond mortgage budgets, but this property provides a rare opportunity to own a single-family residence close to the average asking price recorded on Zillow.com.

With over 1,700 square feet of living space throughout three finished levels, this home offers very spacious accommodations and versatile living options. For example, it is currently listed with three bedrooms, but with a family room that includes a full bath and closet, the potential and convenience for a first-floor master suite is a viable lodging alternative. A sunroom on this floor and playroom in the basement allow for this flexibility without sacrificing common or entertaining rooms.

The main floor consists of a lovely 11 x 19 square foot fireplaced living room, a 12 x 12 square foot formal dining area with dual custom china cabinets, a 17 x 16 square foot family room with a coffered ceiling, a charming 13 x 8 square foot sunroom and an 11 x 13 square foot country kitchen.

The second level hosts liberal bedroom dimensions for a home of this era with a master bedroom at 11 x 15 square feet and two additional bedrooms measuring 10 x 17 and 13 x 10 square feet. Both the finished lower level and walk-up attic resourcefully utilize the full footprint of this home with a playroom and laundry facilities in the basement and storage and/or future living space on the top floor.

This property also contains a two-zone heating system, central air conditioning, a one-car detached garage, a three-month new roof and a great, level almost quarter of an acre back yard.
