Appealing Belmont home has English accent
Looking for Old World charm with all the updates? You’ll find it at 27 Dorset Road in Belmont.
This property — an English cottage and an expanded Cape Cod combined in a home — is located in the desirable Village Hills neighborhood on Belmont Hill. The property is spacious without feeling cavernous, and has many surprises in store. It’s priced at $899,000.
Open the front door and you’re greeted by gleaming hardwood floors and a large, sunny living room with a fireplace that overlooks the landscaped front yard. A formal dining room is served by a thoughtfully designed and updated modern kitchen. The dining room also looks out to the lovely backyard and patio.
At just over 1,800 square feet, the Royal Barry Willsstyle home has one bedroom with a full bath on the first floor, then three more bedrooms with a full bath on the second floor, including a master with double custom closets. The home is perfect for a growing family that wants to stay close but still have plenty of space. The property also has a Certified Deleaded certificate, a valuable rarity for families with small children.
Among the home’s many special touches is a deck that wraps around the back of the house, allowing for an outdoor breakfast nook near the kitchen, and easy access to the incredible backyard. Tall evergreens and a fence create a green oasis. The yard was also leveled for easy care, and features a defined stone patio for entertaining outside, grilling, and even room for a fire pit.
With a two-car heated garage, basement storage, and central air-conditioning, 27 Dorset Road has all the comfortable features you’ll want, in addition to easy access to the Alewife MBTA station in Cambridge.
