243 Park Ave

Rare historic Spanish-style home steps from Belmont Shore with a rental apartment and 4 private garages! Stroll up the welcoming brick walkway through a wrought iron gate to find a peaceful courtyard garden. Step through the custom arched door into a high-ceiling foyer leading to a spacious great room. French doors from this great room lead to a lovely side garden and rear patio area. Be prepared to marvel at the red oak floors, coved ceilings and 1920's built-in cabinetry. The front home offers 3 bedrooms (1 currently being used as an office) and 2 bathrooms plus an over-sized family kitchen streaming with natural light and cozy corner fireplace. Upgrades include fully paid solar panels, double-paned glass, mini-splits for heating and air-conditioning along with supplemental forced gas heat. Inside the detached 4-car garage (accessed from the alley), you will find a generous-sized office. Beside the garage is a private entrance to an upstairs 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest house (rental apartment) with vaulted ceilings, wood floors, fireplace, 2 balconies and private garage. This home truly combines the best of 1923 charm with 21st century SMART upgrades.
