Each space offers a unique sense of craftmanship, from graceful arches to finely detailed trim, evoking romance and warmth of classic Mediterranean design. The current owner has elevated this home with a seamless addition: a stunning primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, French doors leading to a private back yard and a walk-in closet. Other “modern” updates include a spacious kitchen with and island and adjacent dinette, interior laundry and a 2-car garage accessed by a covered walkway; a loggia in keeping with the traditional nature of this architecture.
