Schedule a Private Showing for a fantastic opportunity to restore this classic Belmont residence set on the corner of Locust and School Street, right by the Burbank School. At 248 School Street, a traditional center-entrance Colonial awaits a buyer looking for a substantial footprint and a highly functional layout ready for its next chapter. The location provides convenient access to all the Belmont schools, Belmont Center, public transportation, and offers an easy commute to Cambridge and Boston. The house spans four floors of living space and includes five bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths. The rooms are well-proportioned and filled with wonderful natural light. A driveway and two-car garage, accessed from Locust Street - a dead-end cul-de-sac, make coming and going especially convenient. With its scale, setting, and central location, the property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation or reconfiguration. No open houses. Do not walk the property.
