2808 Brightwood Ave

Historic character up front, modern living in the back, and a floor plan that simply works. Built by Better Home Builders LLC, this five-bedroom, three-bath Belmont-Hillsboro home pairs the charm of an established neighborhood with a thoughtful renovation designed for the way people live today. The layout creates openness where you want it and privacy where you need it, with bedrooms separated across multiple wings of the home. The ground-level primary suite is privately tucked into its own wing, creating a true retreat from the rest of the house. At the heart of the home, a dramatic vaulted addition opens into an expansive kitchen, dining, and living space surrounded by glass, filling the room with natural light and connecting effortlessly to the backyard. An unfinished basement offers bonus space for a home gym, wine storage, or additional storage, while a full apartment over the two-car garage adds another layer of flexibility. But the real luxury may be the land: approximately .32 acres—nearly 14,000 square feet and essentially a double lot—with mature trees, a shaded backyard, and plenty of room for a pool. Tucked into a quieter, more private pocket of Belmont-Hillsboro while still walkable to the restaurants, shops, and energy of 12 South. A turnkey, fully renovated home in Belmont-Hillsboro under $2 million is increasingly hard to find—making this a rare and fleeting opportunity to have the space, character, function, and location all in one.
