The decorative front portico on this spectacular newly rebuilt colonial in prestigious Belmont Hill is a great introduction into the meticulous architectural appointments that await inside its four walls. Each room, bathroom and even hallways were granted with beautiful features and details that create a layered and luxurious foundation patiently waiting for personal enhancements. It also boasts a fluid floor plan with spacious room dimensions throughout three levels of finished living space for exceptionally comfortable daily living and seamless entertaining.

The first floor consists of four common rooms with elevated ceilings, beginning with its formal spaces in the fireplaced living room and elegant dining area. The large eat-in gourmet kitchen features state-of-the-art ingredients, including high-end stainless steel appliances and spills effortlessly into the generous family room with French doors that lead into the rear deck and beautiful nearly one-half acre landscape.
