This classic Mediterranean-style home in the coveted Old Northeast neighborhood has been skillfully restored to preserve and enhance the character of its 1925 origins. Surrounded by outdoor living spaces, private courtyard, bountiful flower beds and cobbled walkways, it has street access to ample driveway parking and a two-car garage. Upon entering, you will be immediately struck by the high ceilings and designer's touch throughout, including the front room complete with arched windows and French doors and the living room, featuring original pine floors, built-in bookshelves and fireplace. The dining room overlooks the scenic veranda and the magazine-worthy kitchen has a farmhouse sink, heavy butcher-block counters, glazed cabinets and special nooks, evoking a feeling of a European cottage kitchen. The master suite is a stunning combination of style and comfort, with French doors to a large private courtyard. Two closets, one a walk-in, rare in historic homes, plus dressing area, make this a relaxing retreat. The spacious renovated master bath features a claw-foot tub with a view of Paris by artist Terry Klaaren, plus a marble-topped double, furniture-style vanity. The second bedroom is currently used as an office and study but can easily transition. Experience the epitome of historic style and curb appeal, combined with the needs of today's homeowner. Bella Luce is admired by all that experience it and is so convenient to the vibrant downtown.
