That statement has never been truer than at 1026 Bellevue Drive in Virginia Highlands. The curb appeal is undeniable and the exterior is completely indicative of what you would expect of the in-town neighborhood, but the interior is certainly not what you would think. You might be thinking you will have a cluster of small rooms and spaces in the 1930’s bungalow. That is 100% incorrect!
A total renovation has made this home perfect for the modern family. Open rooms, high ceilings and lots of sunlight are an in-town owners dream. From the front door you see sunshine running down the stairs from a loft area above and more dancing across the back rooms of the house. Windows and French doors cover the back rooms of house making inside rooms and an outside deck almost seems like one enormous living room. The light oak hardwoods and matching cabinetry of the kitchen reflect the light to make the rooms appear even larger.
The kitchen has clean modern lines and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. Gray and white granite countertops are perfect for prep work. An island bar with salad sink and seating is multipurpose living at its best. Glass front cabinets and open shelving are great extras that continue to open up the space.
The formal dining room provides seating for twelve or more and has an original fireplace. What a great conversation piece. The room has been decorated in soothing colors and will make even the most uptight guest relax and let the stress of their day go.
The master suite has a walk-in closet and modern bath. The garden tub and frameless glass shower are all appointed in light earth tones for relaxation and easy decorating. Two raised windows provide natural light and privacy. There are two additional bedrooms on the upper level of the home and a loft to an exterior balcony.
The home has two utterly delightful extras. One is a finished basement with exterior access that works perfectly as a home office or teenagers retreat. It has windows to keep it from feeling gloomy and a bath for great convenience. The second extra is across the back courtyard and is a cottage that is currently approved for rental if the new owner desires. It would also be an ideal guest suite or mother-in-laws suite. It has a full kitchen, full bath, one bedroom and a separate living room.
The home and extras are more than most expect with in-town living. It is open and perfect for today’s family on the inside, but has all the charm you want when you call Virginia Highlands your home.
