1312 San Antonio Ave

Inside, a traditional foyer leads to elegant living and dining rooms through a curved arch that is framed by smaller arches on either side. Both spacious rooms maintain many preserved original architectural details including crown moulding, picture rails and the original oak floor that continues through most of the home. A stunning floor-to-ceiling fireplace has a Calacatta quartz hearth and an ornate surround with large scrolled brackets holding up the mantel. A clever architectural design feature of this room, and throughout the house, are the many windows that mirror the shape of the home’s distinctive front gables, including a large living room picture window and smaller windows framing the fireplace. The living room flows into a gracious dining room large enough for entertaining a crowd, yet intimate enough for small gatherings. A bank of bay windows floods the room with natural light, highlighting the dramatic tray ceiling. The eat-in kitchen, situated next to the dining room, has been updated with granite counters, a center island, and high-end stainless steel appliances. A full bathroom sits next to the kitchen, and has a cast iron tub and vintage black and white wall and floor tiles.

A split-level stairway off the foyer leads to a landing with a half bath and two well-sized bedrooms, both of which have oak floors and picture rails. Another half flight of stairs leads to the spacious primary bedroom suite with an attractive en-suite bathroom, and an adjoining flex room with a cathedral ceiling and a built-in window seat that sits beneath a beautiful stained glass window. The bedroom also boasts a cathedral ceiling and French doors that open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the backyard. The attractive ensuite bathroom includes a Carrara marble hex-tile floor, beadboard wainscoting and a walk-in shower with a white subway tile surround.
