Open the gate to the courtyard and leave the world behind. This beautiful and romantic downtown Laurel Park home represents the epitome of classical Spanish architecture. Situated behind the private walls this unique property strikes the perfect balance of period charm and modern amenities that includes a large gourmet kitchen. The three bedroom, three bath home including detached guest quarters, retains many features from the early residence including pecky cypress beams in the living room and beautiful arched entryways. The kitchen offers a spacious center island, tons of cabinetry and rich counter tops that are accentuated by gorgeous and lustrous high quality stainless steel appliances. Two sets of doors with direct access to the sparkling pool create an amazing indoor/outdoor flow. The custom-designed pool with its unique water fall and the patio complement the interior and offer additional space for entertaining. This home is truly a dream and will charm you from the moment you open the front gate. You're close to restaurants, Selby Gardens, Burns Cinema, Bayfront activities, the Opera House, Towles Court and all the downtown events. There is a kayak launch around the corner, so you're able to venture out via Hudson Bayou to the bay or to the neighborhood's "pocket park" on Laurel Street. This is a fantastic opportunity to live downtown in a charming and friendly neighborhood. A must see for those requiring quality and character.
