Sited on the iconic 500-block of Avon St just before the Belmont Bridge, this 1920's Belmont brick home has been in the same family since 1948. Greet your neighbors and passers-by with a wave from your street-level front porch. You're so close to the downtown mall, it's identified as a 'Walker's Paradise' with a WalkScore of 93. With an updated kitchen and two updated, full baths (one on each floor), this home follows the form and traditions of its time with 4 fireplaces (2 are gas), a full, covered front porch and original woodwork through that has been spared of decades of paint! Classic, oversized staircase newel posts, windows galore and generous room sizes on both floors. TING high-speed fiber internet. Off-street parking via the alley with a one-car garage space. Fully fenced backyard with access via the stairs off the deck from the kitchen. Basement access is outside with great storage potential. This bastion of history is in a prime position to be reimagined with updates and upgrades in line with modernity or enjoy as it stands. The location is sought-after, the bones are classic, the potential is endless! There are few opportunities to enjoy walkable access to downtown with a yard, off-street parking and more.
