Welcome to Belgravia Court, a spectacular and historic walking court that is gracefully entered from Saint James Court, 6th St. or 4th St. Being one of the 1st homes built on Belgravia Court in 1891 as a model home at the time, this gorgeous Richardsonian Romanesque with its original well maintained slate roof offers distinct architecture throughout. This spectacular home offers over 3200 Sq. Ft. of living space with incredible fireplace mantels, intricate inlayed floors throughout the 1st floor with different inlays in each room. Living on a quiet, secluded Historic walking court with no vehicles is incredible, looking at neighboring homes across the lush well landscaped & manicured walking court is difficult to find anywhere in the city. The grand façade is sure to please. Enter the front door into the reception parlor to the right and the formal living room to the left. The formal banquet sized dining room (which has French doors leading to the rear) is behind the living area. The hallway leads to the rear of the home where you will find the well-appointed eat-in kitchen with natural wood cabinetry. There is also a half-bath off the hallway. I hate to jump ahead, but out the kitchen door you will find one of the most beautiful and functional courtyards you will find. Entertaining is a breeze back here, with a spacious patio with custom natural gas firepit, an amazing Amish constructed screened gazebo w/electric that seats 6 comfortably, a ceiling fan w/light kit and an outdoor TV. Back in the house and up to the 2nd floor where there are 3 generous bedrooms, a fabulous custom dressing room with great space that includes the laundry area as well. The bath offers a double vanity set in granite, a glass enclosed shower and an additional storage cabinetry with granite top (the perfect space for linens, make-up & products).
