Reflect back on an era of casual elegance, refined yet comfortable details, and quality construction. Welcome home to 2601 where you're welcomed by a peaceful gated courtyard and wonderfully casual landscaping. From the moment you enter the home, you're greeted with a stunning staircase, huge rooms, beautiful hardwood floors, and the feeling that this space truly is special. The main living area, with an abundance of windows and statement-making fireplace, offers a comfortable spot to relax or the perfect place to entertain. The dining area, open to the cook-friendly kitchen, would easily seat 12 or more. The first floor is also home to a 1/2 bath off the entry, a wonderfully bright second living area or bedroom with full bath, excellent storage and great 1940's details. Up the grand staircase you're greeted by a wonderful primary suite with unusually creative primary bath and closets for days. Three other large bedrooms, a balcony, and a full bath are also located on the 2nd floor. The washer and dryer are also located upstairs so laundry is a breeze. 2601 offers just too much to mention and that's before you even go outside. The rear yard offers a wonderful tiled pool with fountain, great patio and deck areas and the greatest, most peaceful casita- perfect for an art studio, home office, or possible income-generating space. In a home of such great surprises, this space may be the best surprise of all. The grounds are structured yet casual and the space really does give you a sense of being on a fantasy vacation. 2601 really does feel like one of those "if these walls could talk" spaces simply because of the historic feel of the property. *The casita has a full bath and washer/dryer of its own and its square footage and bathroom count are not reflected in the square footage of the home. Think of it as "gift with purchase".
