FIXER WITH VISION IN BELMONT - A rare opportunity to reimagine 2,530 sf of living space on a flat 5,488 sf lot in a sought-after Belmont setting with excellent schools & convenient commutes. A new roof installed approximately 1 year ago adds an important head start.

A separate formal living room with fireplace adds another generous gathering space. The split-level layout offers 2 BD & BA on the main level, plus laundry conveniently located off the kitchen/dining area. Upstairs, the spacious primary ensuite features a walk-in closet & private bath with plenty of room to create a beautiful retreat, plus an additional BD & 1/2 BA. A deep 1-car garage offers workshop space or tandem parking, w/ additional attic storage above. This is a true fixer with the space, flexibility & location to create something special. Builders, investors & visionaries, bring your architect & your ideas. With a new roof, flat lot, generous living space & flexible floor plan, the groundwork is here for someone to create something truly special. Homes with this much space in Belmont are extremely hard to find. Seize the opportunity to make it yours today.

About

Central

Central, located between El Camino Real and Alameda de las Pulgas, is a residential and commercial Belmont neighborhood with a walkable downtown strip and a Caltrain edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Old County Road corridor near Ralston Avenue, where cafes, small restaurants, and everyday services line the sidewalks. Early- and mid-century houses mix with low-rise apartments on leafy blocks that rise toward the hills. Twin Pines Park and the Manor provide a civic backdrop for events and classes. Central Park adds courts, lawns, and a skate spot near the train tracks. The Caltrain station and SamTrans stops shape a commuter-friendly rhythm without changing the small-town scale.
