Home of the Week: 118 Claflin St.

This charming Cape has received an incredible amount of attention its first week on the market. First, it is located in one of the most sought after Belmont neighborhoods, just steps from the Winn Brook School and Belmont Center. Second, prospective homebuyers are more than impressed with its full interior renovation completed only two short years ago, which includes a new gourmet kitchen. This property is a quintessential example why Belmont's real estate market often experiences such quick turnaround where its residences often offer a unique blend of its rich history with today's modern amenities.

Its spacious 1,788 square feet of living space is nicely distributed throughout nine rooms and three levels. The first floor boasts a fluid floor plan where an abundance of windows drench each space with natural sunlight. The large front-to-back living room contains a fireplace anchored as its primary focal point while a pair of French doors lead to a charming dining area. The kitchen has been completely updated with a sleek, modern design and accessorized with premier ingredients to please any level cook with custom cabinetry, granite surfaces, stainless steel Bosch appliances and includes a convenient breakfast bar. This level also includes a cozy home office/den with a bay window and a half bath.

The second level hosts three generously-sized bedrooms with dormers creating enchanting vignettes and a full family bath. The partially finished basement resourcefully takes full advantage of this home's liberal footprint with an inviting and warm family/game room with wall-to-wall carpeting. The 6,252 square foot fenced-in lot also provides recreational and relaxation opportunities, especially within its charming red brick patio.

The local real estate market has considerably opened up this spring and this home is fittingly at the top of many Belmont homebuyers lists; it offers the complete package: location, luxury, revitalization and comfort.
