Located in the heart of Belmont Shore, this newer custom Spanish-style home, built in 2002, blends classic architectural character with modern upgrades and high-end finishes throughout. Enter through a gated, landscaped front patio framed by palm trees, an inviting introduction to the home. Inside, rich hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and ceiling fans create warmth and cohesion throughout the 3 bedroom, 3 bath layout. The living room welcomes you with a stunning custom-tiled fireplace, an arched picture window that fills the space with natural light, and seamless flow into the dining area. The dining room features charming built-in china cabinets, adding both character and functionality. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast counter for casual dining. Down the hall, you’ll find a beautifully appointed bath with a walk-in shower, wine storage, and access to the attached two-car garage complete with built-in storage and workspace, plus an additional full-sized parking pad. A circular staircase with wrought iron railing leads to the upper level. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a full hall bath. A convenient laundry room with sink and a charming office nook provide added functionality. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring its own fireplace and sliding doors that open to a private balcony. The ensuite bath offers a soaking tub, travertine tile, and a walk-in closet. And then—the star of the show. Just a short flight of stairs leads to the expansive rooftop deck designed for ultimate entertaining. Enjoy neighborhood views from the jacuzzi spa, gather around the covered built-in grill and bar area complete with refrigerator and big screen TV, and take advantage of the dumbwaiter from the kitchen below. With multiple seating areas, this rooftop functions as an entirely separate outdoor living space. All just moments from shopping and dining along vibrant 2nd Street, and a short distance to the beach.
