Belmont isn’t exactly a hidden gem when it comes to real estate. After all, the “Town of Homes” is right in the middle of the action, tucked right next to Cambridge and Arlington. But if you’re in the know, you’re already hip to the fact that the town boasts an accessible location for commuters, excellent schools, and the quiet, suburban feel of zip codes much farther away.

Within Belmont’s Presidential neighborhood, you’ll find a stately brick Colonial at 11 Adams Street, meticulously landscaped, with tons of curb appeal and perhaps best of all, renovated and ready to move into.

The 1929 floor plan was opened up — and brightened up — for easy flow between living, kitchen, and dining spaces, while cleverly maintaining distinct spaces for each room. The living room is flooded with natural light via oversized paned windows and sets of French doors that lead to the patio and yard, with warmth and character delivered via built-ins, moulding, and a large fireplace.

Kitchens can make or break an otherwise fantastic home, and this one was designed to be both worthy of a Nancy Meyers movie and highly functional. You’ll find neat custom cabinetry, a massive marble-topped, eat-in island, a Viking range, two sinks, and a handy home office nook.

In addition to four bedrooms including a primary with custom closet and a marble bath with jetted tub, the home includes a finished lower level with a family room, mirrored gym, and a mud room.

On the market for $3,095,000, the sale of the home is represented by Terry McCarthy with Coldwell Banker Realty, 617-435-2001.
