Property Description
ONCE IN A LIFETIME takes on new meaning at 293 Saint Joseph Avenue. Inspired by 1920s and 1930s Italian and Spanish Revival architecture, the residence was rebuilt from the studs and expanded in 2008 to create a home with the soul of another era and the comfort of today. More recently, the chef’s kitchen and primary bath were remodeled, delivering modern function and luxury without sacrificing the home’s period character-----The home’s authenticity is evident in reclaimed Tuscan roof tiles, Italian Noce travertine, true terra-cotta, hand-cut Moroccan marble mosaics, mahogany millwork, hand-built cabinetry, period-inspired solid-brass lighting, copper graces the exterior- lighting, vent trim, crawlspace screens, rain gutters with ornate solid-brass straps, custom wrought iron, & Dornbracht fixtures. In an amazing gesture to achieve perfection, walls were first laser-leveled to remove any imperfections before ultimately hand-plastering all interior & exterior walls, an artisan touch rarely seen today---This aesthetic harmony gives the home a depth & permanence nearly impossible to reproduce today-----Three wood-burning fireplaces warm the living room, family room, & the priv primary suite, a gracious retreat featuring its own cozy den, elegant bathroom w floor-to ceiling glass tile & custom walk-in closet-----Outdoors, the home lives large, well over 4,000 sq. ft., a heated, arched loggia designed for year-round dining opens to a resort-style backyard w an infinity spa spilling into a gracious salt-water pool w sun-ledge, firepit, & romantic 4th fireplace—ideal for quiet evenings or memorable gatherings-----Lush landscaping and incredible-raised gardens wrap the property front to back, enhancing privacy while the homes timeless architecture presents gracefully with old world gates and wrought iron detail. The finished garage is complete- a Liebherr Fridge, charging station, beautiful cabinetry & attic storage-----Set on a premier hilltop lot in the coveted Estates Section of Belmont Heights, a beach enclave of Long Beach, this residence offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle--just a short stroll from dining, boating, beach, concerts in the park, the farmers market, award-winning schools, and more (currently it is set up as 3 bd, office, den w 2 full ba 2 half bath - pot 5 bedrooms 3 en-suite, incl one of the 1st floor)—— Truly one of a kind, virtually impossible to recreate and even if one could come close, the cost and time would be prohibitive...
