Belmont’s Best Deal of the Week—September 2nd 2008.

Belmont’s Best Deal of the Week—September 2nd 2008.

This home just popped out at us as being one of the best deals we’ve seen in awhile. I’m a little skeptical about the reported square footage but it’s still a good deal. Once in the home the upper level flows out to the rear yard and it’s all level–a real plus in the hills. There’s what is being called a permitted room and bath down in the garage making it a three bedroom if it’s really permitted. Anytime a room opens into a garage it’s not supposed to be a legal room (Uniform Building Code citing). It may have been permitted at one time, making it a legal non-conforming room. Oh and it had nice views too!

The Streets Around Us

Have you ever driven around Belmont and wondered how a street got its name? You might even live on a street named Lyon for example and wondered if it too is a French derivation.

How about that funny round turret of a building on Alameda de las Pulgas (now tha’s a name)—who lived there?

We’ll answer a few, but Belmont does have a historical society which is fun to visit and you’ll meet volunteers with all of the answers. There’s even a book titled Heritage of the Wooded Hills by Ria Elena MacCrisken that will satisfy some of your curiosity and make driving the windy roads of our little town more interesting. Now for some answers:

In an apparent attempt to fashion Belmont after Hillsborough, in 1925 the Belmont Country Club Properties were formed by Messrs Lee Monroe, Lawrence Miller and Arthur Lyon (apparently Mr. Lyon had more pull as both his first and last names were used for street names).

Across the street from the $65,000 club house located at 751 Alameda de las Pulgas (now the Congressional Church of Belmont) was a tiny round sales office offering homes for sale around the golf course for sale. What golf course? Find out in our here…
