Located in one of Belmont's most desirable pockets, just steps from the IX Art Park, home to the Saturday Farmers Market, Brazos Tacos, and Lampo2Go, and easily walkable to the Downtown Mall and Belmont restaurants, this thoughtfully expanded home blends original character with modern livability. Originally a 1950 bungalow, the home was reimagined by its architect-owner with the addition of a full second story, expanding from 1,460 to 2,600 finished square feet while maintaining its charm. The upper level features three spacious bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite with a walk-in closet, private bath, and deck capturing western Blue Ridge mountain views and sunsets. Two additional large bedrooms share a full hall bath, and a second-floor laundry adds convenience. The well-appointed kitchen and baths reflect quality finishes throughout. On the main level, a bright southern-facing office and comfortable den offer excellent flexibility, including the ability to accommodate a first-floor bedroom and full bath if needed. Outdoor living includes a screened porch overlooking a flat, fenced backyard with driveable rear alley access and a detached 467-sq-ft studio/workshop with electricity. Basement provides excellent storage.
