A Quiet Neighborhood, Conveniently Located

When asked what they have loved about 53 Oak Avenue, the owners immediately said “the neighborhood” and quickly start listing off all of the aspects that they have loved so much. “Our neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful and truly the best in Belmont.” It has been the perfect place to raise their two boys, close to the schools, parks and Cushing Square. Adding to that is the convenience of location, nearby Cambridge and easy access to Boston.

Re-designed for Cooking and Entertaining

Shortly after purchasing the home in 2012, they opened up the dining room to the kitchen and created a lovely space for cooking and gathering. More recently in 2017, they updated the kitchen further and expanded it to add a central island (constructed out of 5-panel doors from the original house, leaded glass windows and topped with a gorgeous quartz countertop). This chef’s kitchen, with a Viking oven, has become the heart of the home. With a circular flow to the first floor, the space is welcoming and open and combines modern updates with beautiful craftsmanship.

Space for All to Enjoy

One of the unique aspects of this house is that each floor has wonderful and unique space for all to enjoy. On the first floor, the expansive living room, with a bright bow window-seat and gas fireplace, is large enough for multiple seating areas to accommodate both small and large gatherings.

On the second floor, you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms, a renovated hall bathroom with double vanity, an inviting reading/office nook and a recently gut-renovated master suite. Completed in 2017, the front-to-back master bedroom has a sizable walk-in custom closet and a stunning master bath — with radiant heated flooring, a steam shower and double vanity.

They expanded the house further in 2017 by taking the large unfinished attic space and fully reimagining it to create an architectural gem. With beautiful angles and exceptionally high ceilings (averaging 11 ft), beamed with reclaimed wood, this open and flexible space offers extraordinary functionality. This 4th bedroom would also make a wonderful master suite, with a bright sitting/reading area, a comfy spot for TV viewing, a nook office space, additional storage and another beautiful bathroom, with a double vanity, skylight light, walk-in shower and reclaimed wood barn door.

Expansion Potential

The currently unfinished lower level also has a tall ceiling (7.5 feet) and offers a great work-out area and additional play space. With laundry and extra storage, the lower level could be reconfigured in a multitude of ways to fit your needs.

A Large 2-Car Garage, Beautiful Patio Space and Partially Fenced-in Yard

A welcome bonus of this property is the 2-car garage with extra storage space. The current owners replaced the garage door with a stunning stained wood door to match those of the main house and added beautiful lighting to the exterior of the garage. They also created a large patio space in which they have enjoyed outdoor dining and sitting around the fire pit in the evenings. A cute, partially fenced-in yard is right off the patio.
