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.
