The exterior has distinctive Mediterranean influences with textured white stucco walls and a decorative terra cotta tile roof trim. The charming vintage interior of both homes are mostly mirror images of each other, with appealing floor plans designed to take advantage of all usable space. The foyer leads to a large living room that opens to a dining room, both of which have hardwood floors, new stylish light fixtures, and dual-pane windows that continue throughout both homes, providing energy efficiency and sound insulation. Situated adjacent to the dining room, each kitchen has been tastefully remodeled and updated to include granite or quartz counters, refaced cabinets, stainless steel appliances and plenty of bright, natural sunlight.
The two bedrooms in #2521 are located up a split-level stairway, and each room has its own distinctive attributes. The bedroom on the left faces the front of the house and features louvered window shutters for privacy, a hardwood floor, and is filled with custom built-in bookshelf/dresser combinations. Tall arched windows bring in bright sunlight, while two closets provide plenty of storage space. The rear bedroom windows also have privacy shutters, a hardwood floor, new light fixture, elegant wood trim and a built-in work space with a desk and bookshelves. The home’s sunny bathroom sits between the bedrooms, and has been remodeled with a jetted soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and new light fixtures and bath fixtures.
Two of the three bedrooms in #2523 are on the main level, convenient for those desiring single level living. An attractive, remodeled bathroom sits between the bedrooms, and has a deep bathtub/shower combination with a white metro-tile surround, a high ceiling with a skylight and new light fixtures. The large primary bedroom is upstairs, and includes a hardwood floor and plenty of natural light.
