[ SOLD for $399,500 on 10/16/2015 ] STUNNING! This 1929 Spanish/Mediterranean sits upon one of the nicest streets in the Palm Heights Historic District. From the moment you pull up to this home, your heart will flutter with anticipation of the sophisticated interior that will take your breath away. Recent updates in breakfast nook, kitchen, and bathroom yet maintaining the originality of this 1920s time-piece.
Step back in time with extra thick lathe and plaster walls, gracious step-down living room that can accommodate a grand piano (the piano IS negotiable), in addition to the built-in display niches, original beamed ceiling, and majestic fireplace with display cove and original sconce lighting. Step up from the living room into the grand formal dining room which features a tray ceiling, doorway with original glass doorknob and hardware, and French doors to side patio and driveway area.
With almost 1900 sq ft, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms, gorgeous original hardwood floors throughout, and a large bathroom with original pedestal sink and original tiled alcove bath (the flooring was recently laid to match the existing bathroom tiles). The originally tiled kitchen is in terrific shape, but needed the modern convenience of a dishwasher, so the existing cabinetry was moved to the other side of the kitchen next to the stove. An opening from the breakfast nook to the laundry room was recently created to provide an open design and convenient access to the park-like backyard. The breakfast nook also boasts two corner built-in hutches!
You’ll also appreciate the separate indoor laundry room, central air/heat, newer composition roof, pool-size and park-like backyard, newer white vinyl fence, and a 2-car detached garage with extra parking. This is a STANDARD sale! FHA offers are welcome!
