187 Trapelo Rd, Belmont, MA 02478
What This Apartment Offers
Belmont 2BR with Period Charm + Sunporch | #73 Bus at the Door
1st floor of a 2-family · ~1,300 sq ft ·
The kind of apartment that makes the words "they don't... build them like this anymore" feel earned. The entry foyer opens through decorative columns into a sun-filled living room. The dining room next door has a built-in china hutch, crown molding, and a bay of windows that catches the morning light. Hardwood floors run the length of the unit. Off the front of the apartment, an enclosed sunporch wrapped in windows on three sides waits for whatever you want it to be — reading nook, home office, plant room, second living space.
It's been updated where it should be. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas range, dishwasher, and a pantry. There's a full-sized washer and dryer in the unit — a real one, not a stacked closet unit.
The location is the practical reason you'll write the deposit check. The #73 bus stops at the front walk: 15 minutes to Harvard Square, 5 minutes to Waverley Commuter Rail, every 5–10 minutes at rush hour. Cushing Square — coffee, restaurants, a wine shop, errands — is a short 0.15 miles away. The movie theater is a few minutes further. You also get off-street parking for two cars, a basement for storage, and a backyard with a shed.
