About this home

Belmont Hill! Set in one of Belmont’s most beautiful neighborhoods, this light-filled custom home is rich in stunning architectural detail, offering a warm, welcoming feel and a flexible layout. A sunken living room with a wall of glass opens to a stone patio, creating a seamless extension of the living space. The bright kitchen, with corner windows, is filled with natural light. Expansive windows throughout gently connect the home to the outdoors, while natural stone fireplaces and chimneys add comfort and character. A gracious foyer with a winter garden adds a joyful touch. The home features two primary suites—one on the main level with patio access and another upstairs with a private roof deck. The second floor includes a stunning, peaceful multi-purpose room with a stone fireplace and large windows, plus three additional bright bedrooms. The lower level, with its own entrance, kitchen, and two baths, is ideal for au pair, in-law, or multi-generational living, as well as guest space
