Home of the Week: 743 Belmont St.

This Belmont home conveys such an incredible amount of character and warmth, prospective homebuyers will feel right at home the moment they enter. Its original architecture proudly displays its period roots and its six spacious and charming rooms are beautifully decorated and painted to perfectly reflect its intended use and ambiance.

The first floor tour begins with a gorgeous 17 x 18 square foot fireplaced living room with inviting butter walls and columns to softly create an impromptu sunroom that is drenched in natural light from a wall of picture windows. The 12 x 10 square foot dining area is lined with rich gold walls effectively setting the stage for formal entertaining while the 8 x 17 square foot eat-in neutral kitchen is the perfect venue for relaxed meals and daily living. This space also contains new patio doors that open into a lovely deck that overlooks the private backyard.

The second level hosts very comfortable lodging accommodations with a 14 x 16 square foot master bedroom and two additional bedrooms measuring at 9 x 11 and 9 x 10 square feet and a full beautifully renovated family bath. The lower level contains a fabulous 16 x 10 square foot family room and another full bath.

This home's comfortable and inviting settings are enhanced by many behind-the-scenes updates that include replacement windows, doors and roof and offers central air conditioning on the second floor. A detached two-car garage completes many of the benefits that come with the purchase of this home.

Belmont, as well as the general real estate market, is experiencing an encouraging surge in activity and traffic this spring which is a great sign for the economy, but obliges prospective homebuyers to act quickly on available properties. This beautiful residence just entered the market three short days ago and is holding its first open house this weekend, but with its quality, character and price, it will likely following the developing trend and go very quickly.
