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 affects main support beams, sills, and numerous floor joists. The foundation requires substantial restoration.

Property is not connected to municipal sewer, and the Town has no records identifying an existing septic system or cesspool.The Thaddeus Frost House is listed on the Town and Massachusetts Registers of Historic Places and is located within its own Historic District.
