Some houses take your breath away and some houses give you the room to breathe. 89 Fletcher Road has the remarkable gift of doing both. It has presence and provenance as well as beauty and serenity. Beautifully sited high up on a hill, this nearly 8,000 sq ft brick estate in the Norman Country Revival style looks out to Boston and over its beautiful Belmont Hill neighborhood. Only a few blocks from Belmont’s town center, the property has 1¼ acres of manicured grounds. Spread out over 4 floors, the house has 6 bedrooms, 6½ bathrooms and 5 fireplaces. Spectacular leaded glass windows in every room drench the large-scaled spaces in beautiful sunlight. The interior details, including cambered ceilings, majestic woodwork and grand stair are all the result of extraordinary craftsmanship and give this property a style all its own. Both grand and approachable, 89 Fletcher Road is one of those magical places where you can have both an exquisite private retreat and a lovely personal home.
