1771 Valley View Ave Belmont, CA 94002

Tucked into a quiet hillside pocket above Belmont, this 5-bedroom home offers something rare on the Peninsula: a commanding, expansive valley view paired with true small-town serenity and still just minutes from everything you need. Set near the top of the hill, this home feels secluded and peaceful, yet it's only 5 minutes to Carlmont Village Shopping Center and close to Waterdog Lake's hiking and biking trail system, Cipriani Park, and Belmont's dedicated dog park. Enjoy year-round evenings on the expansive deck overlooking the valley, or take advantage of flexible downstairs space that works as an entertainment room, game room, or space for hosting family and friends. With 5 bedrooms, there's room for a growing family, including two bedrooms ideal for conversion into home offices, perfect for today's remote-work lifestyle. The neighborhood is ultra-quiet and walkable, with tree-lined streets perfect for evening strolls. Zoned for top-rated Belmont schools: Central Elementary, Ralston Middle, and Carlmont High, all rated 910, this home offers an elite public school pipeline across every grade level. Easy access to Highway 101 and 280, plus proximity to Belmont's Caltrain station, Ralston Plaza, and downtown Belmont Village. Homes in this hillside pocket rarely come to market.
