Located on one of Belmont's premier streets, this pristine c.1893 Queen Anne-style Victorian home has been updated while preserving its original architecture. An enchanting porch welcomes you to this well-maintained residence. In 2016 the main level was renovated to the studs, the floor plan was reconfigured, a laundry closet was added to the 2nd floor and the main bathroom was remodeled. New floors on the 1st and 2nd levels and a new stairway to the 3rd were installed at that time. A year-round sun room was added in 2019 offering views of the spectacular yard. There you will find a private and peaceful place to enjoy a newly installed patio and hot tub. Additional features include high ceilings and custom closets. A unique and special offering located a stone's throw to all schools and convenient to everything Belmont offers.**** OPEN HOUSE 8/20 CANCELLED *******
