Home of the Week: 303 Brighton St.

First-time Belmont homebuyers, empty nesters, residential designers; this captivating brick Cape on Brighton St. possesses so many beneficial and engaging traits it transcends across many lines of the real estate market. All of its lodging and many of its common living spaces are located on the main floor, which is appealing to mature buyers or residents who simply prefer a convenient and efficient floor plan. It also, however, can be easily adapted to larger families as it offers exceptional expansion possibilities within its current footprint and its spacious quarter of an acre lot.

As mentioned, many of its finished rooms are sited on the first level. The front entry opens directly into a welcoming and generously-sized 20 x 11 square foot living room with rich gold walls, gleaming hardwood flooring and a fireplace as its primary focal point. The 17 x 11 square foot eat-in kitchen is a great, open space awaiting finishing touches that could easily include a center island and boasts a charming dining area drenching in natural sunlight from three walls of windows. Both bedrooms are also on this floor measuring at 13 x 11 and 13 x 9 square feet as well as a full bath.

The newly finished lower level provides great recreational options to its residents with a 23 x 21 square foot family room, a 16 x 10 square foot exercise room/home office and a half tiled bath. During warmer months, leisure activities can also be enjoyed on the enchanting three-season porch.

Prospective homebuyer will also be impressed with the amount and level of maintenance this home has recently received, including newer windows and four year-young roof and heating system.

To recap, this incredibly engaging property boasts many structural benefits and options, including viable expansion opportunities with its elevated ceilings on the second level and a large quarter of an acre corner lot. Equally impressive is its highly desirable Winnbrook location. Its extensive catalog of residential advantages is lengthy and will attract a wide variety of buyers, easily earning its standing as Patch's Home of the Week.
