Do houses have joie de vivre? We certainly think that this one does. This stately Lockerbie Italianate combines the best of character-filled architecture and a "gut" renovation, offering modern finishes and livability that contrast perfectly with its historic shell. Enjoy some of the best accessibility to everything that makes our urban center special; Vida restaurant is steps away. Voluminous rooms are filled with light and commanding views of our skyline. This home retains its historic allure while offering one of the best kitchen/dining/casual living areas we have seen lately. The inevitable guests will enjoy a well-designed second and third-floor retreat - all of the bedrooms are en-suite. The primary suite is pristine, equipped with a luxe walk-in shower, soaking tub and large walk-in closet. The professionally landscaped outdoor "rooms" and large decorative porch offer the absolute best entertaining spaces, including a gas fire pit and outdoor TV, while requiring very little maintenance. The basement is huge and highly functional, ideal for a home gym, wine cellar or storage. A highly coveted insulated two-and-a-half-car garage completes the convenience. Lock-and-leave lifestyle!
