The design-centric real estate firm deasy/penner&partners has chosen 671 Bellefontaine Street as the Real Estate Pick of the Week.
Unique, contemporary design from architect Ned Engs in combination, with antique architectural elements from the collection of the owner have resulted in a very exciting Arroyo residence. Carved 19th Century double doors serve to introduce the entrance gallery with high ceilings, bamboo floors & view to the pool beyond. A guest suite with sitting room & fireplace, bath & bedroom is to the right. A chef-grade kitchen to the left overlooks the garden terrace; newer stainless appliances & Caesar Stone counters create a wonderful gathering space. Across the gallery from the kitchen, antique fretwork doors open to the formal dining room. An elegant living room with fireplace & an attractive library with fireplace & media center face each other in almost mirror image. 2 bedroom suites complete the main level. Upstairs above the 2 car garage, but reached by an interior stairwell, is a studio & bath with balcony. The back landscape consists of bamboo orchid house, mature plantings & handsome pool.
