A once-in-a-generation opportunity on Belmont’s most prestigious address. Set along iconic Circle Drive, this remarkable residence has been carefully stewarded by only two owners in more than 75 years—a true testament to its enduring appeal. Homes on this street simply do not trade hands; this marks the first open market offering on Circle Drive in more than two decades.
Perfectly positioned just steps from Main Street Belmont, this property delivers the ultimate luxury: convenient access to dining, shopping, and community events—paired with a level of privacy rarely found so close to the heart of downtown on a quiet, one-way street. The result is a setting that feels both connected and completely set apart.
The home lives entirely on one level and offers four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, providing a thoughtful balance of comfort, space, and functionality. A sunroom serves as a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living while leading directly to the two-car garage, complemented by a classic circular driveway that enhances both curb appeal and everyday convenience.
Situated on a rare half-acre lot, the outdoor space is designed for entertaining and unforgettable evenings under the stars. A striking brick and black steel fence frames the grounds, while a brick outdoor fireplace creates a natural gathering place for guests, celebrations, and quiet moments alike. Beneath it all, the home features a fully encapsulated crawlspace, reinforcing long-term comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.
With its executive presence, rare lot size, and irreplaceable location, this is not just a home—it’s a legacy property. Opportunities of this caliber in this setting are exceedingly rare.
