If you are looking for a grand historic house, look no more. All the charm of the 1940''s has been preserved and new renovations have been tastefully added. The new kitchen, with high end appliances and custom made cabinets, opens to a large formal dining room and a cozy terrace-side breakfast room. Here there is also a casual sitting area with a divider of fine cabinetry. The grand living room, with a fireplace, opens to the traditional side porch which has been converted into a bright and cheery study with lots of bookcases. In addition to the three bedrooms upstairs there is a very fine studio apartment across the patio. It has a wall of cabinets that support a Murphy bed. The kitchenette has an eat-in granite counter and nice cabinetry. Of course there are hard wood floors and high ceilings, but it is the garden that will thrill you, with its flower beds, bird baths, citrus and flowering trees and tropical plants. You can walk to the City cultural center and gardens or downtown to the many restaurants, theater or library from this elegant historic district home.
