About This Home
As of September 2023Darling, allow me to whisk you away to a place where elegance dances with time itself. Nestled amidst the historical embrace of French Tudors and the quaint charm of bungalows, this sanctuary holds the enchantment of a cherished era. Behold, a 1926 home from the art deco era. A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom haven that harmonizes space and style with the grace of a vintage waltz. As you step into this treasure trove, the living room welcomes you with its retro allure, ready to host soirees and intimate gatherings reminiscent of Hollywood's golden age. Picture plush velvet sofas and gilded accents beneath the soft glow of retro-inspired chandeliers, casting an atmosphere that whispers of glamorous cocktail parties and timeless conversations. The dining room, nestled adjacent, sets the stage for delightful culinary rendezvous. Imagine rich mahogany furniture adorned with delicate lace, where candlelit dinners bring to life the bygone elegance of classic cinema's most enchanting scenes. And there, a tucked-away office - a creative sanctuary bathed in sunlight that spills through generous windows. Think vintage typewriters nestled upon ornate wooden desks, where the pages of your imagination come to life in a symphony of ink and inspiration. Oh, those abundant windows! They serve as portals to a bygone era, allowing sunlight to waltz through every corner, illuminating the timeless art deco architecture and breathing life into each room. Continue upstairs where three bedrooms stand as chapters of restful repose, while the full bathroom offers sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. This treasure, surrounded by historical companions, is not just a home; it's an ode to sophistication and the stories etched into its very walls. So, my dear, come bask in the charm of yesteryears, let the current vintage decor whisk you away, and create new chapters within this masterpiece - your very own fairytale amidst history's loving embrace.
Offers due Tuesday, August 15th at noon.
