Property Description
Historic Thaddeus Frost House (c. 1827), a rare Federal-style Colonial prominently sited on a picturesque 12,486 sq ft corner lot in the sought-after Winn Brook area near Belmont Center. Rich in period detail and architectural character, this distinctive property features wide pine floors, original millwork, built-ins, and multiple fireplaces. A unique opportunity for contractors, developers, restoration specialists, or buyers seeking a significant restoration project or the opportunity to build a new home in a premier Belmont location. Convenient to Belmont Center, Route 2, public transportation, Cambridge, Boston, and Winn Brook Elementary School.Property requires extensive structural rehabilitation and is being sold strictly as-is. Significant termite damage exists to main beams, sills, and numerous joists; the foundation also requires substantial restoration. Visible knob-and-tube wiring is present, and the house will require rewiring. The home is not connected to town sewer; the Town has no records regarding a septic system or cesspool. The Thaddeus Frost House is listed on the Town and Massachusetts Registry of Historic Homes and is located within its own Historic District. Exterior renovations, additions, improvements, or demolition require a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Belmont Historic Commission. The Commission may enact a one-year demolition delay. Any construction of a new home, including its exterior design, would require approval and a Certificate of Appropriateness under applicable Historic District regulations.
