Home of the Week: The $4 Million Concord Avenue Mansion

Written by Michele Taranto

With features such as skyline Boston views, a private museum and seven fireplaces, this Belmont home sits comfortably as the Patch Home of the Week.

This elegant 87-year-old Georgian Revival is at the top of the Belmont real estate market. While it rests as one of the most costly homes currently available in town, that price tag is more than substantiated with its exceptional architectural features, its spacious 7,277 square-foot accommodations, luxurious amenities and unique elements.

This residence is sited on over an acre-and-a-half of land with southeastern exposure providing spectacular skyline views of Boston. Inside, it boasts seven-plus bedrooms, six full and three half baths, seven fireplaces, two screened porches, three levels of living space and, yes, a two-room museum that was built to present items from the China trade.

A grand foyer with a bridal staircase greets guests through the front entry providing the perfect introduction into this stunning home. This main level can effortless service both comfortable daily living and seamless entertaining with each room featuring custom built-ins and exceptional accessories. The 33 x 17 square foot fireplaced living room and 16 x 22 square foot fireplaced dining area offer the perfect settings for formal occasions while the 16 x 24 square foot fireplaced family room and 22 x 14 square foot gourmet marble kitchen will easily gratify its occupants for casual living. This floor also includes an intimate 16 x 11 square foot library 

The second level hosts plush lodging for the entire family with six liberally-sized bedrooms, including a 28 x 16 square foot master suite with dual walk-in closets, a sitting room, two fireplaces and two deluxe baths. The third story offers another bedroom and a 17 x 26 square foot media room which could resourcefully be customized to its new owner's preferences as an au-pair or guest suite or private office.

The extent and level of quality craftsmanship and conveniences offered from this home are difficult to convey is one written piece. What can be said, however, is that prospective homebuyers looking to reside in one of the finest properties in Belmont can rest assured, this will be their last search. Nothing could compare to this magnificent estate.
