Classic Sophistication & Timeless Elegance in the Coveted Bella Vista Community
Some homes simply stop you in your tracks — and this is one of them. Nestled on one of the most sought-after lots in the highly desirable Bella Vista neighborhood, this stunning brick-front Colonial sits with the kind of presence and curb appeal that neighbors notice and buyers remember. The location within the community is second to none, offering exceptional privacy, lush surroundings, and the pride that comes with owning one of the best addresses on the street.
Step inside and the tone is set immediately. Sweeping hardwood floors flow through the home with a warmth and richness that feel straight out of a classic Hollywood estate — elegant, inviting, and impossible to ignore. This is a home that dresses well in every room.
At the heart of the home lies a den unlike anything else on the market. A stunning, immaculate fireplace — never once used — serves as a showpiece centerpiece, while a cleverly concealed speakeasy bar adds an air of mystery and refinement that will have your guests talking long after the evening ends. Sophisticated, dramatic, and completely one of a kind.
The formal sitting room and separate dining room are awash in natural light, framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outside in. The well-appointed eat-in kitchen features a breakfast bar perfect for morning coffee or casual dining, while a rear home office provides a quiet retreat for focused work. Main-level laundry keeps daily life running smoothly.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with dual walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed private bath. Three generously sized additional bedrooms and a full hall bath round out the upper level. Downstairs, the unfinished lower level is a wide-open opportunity — shape it into whatever your lifestyle calls for.
Outside, a screened porch opens to a breathtaking backyard that feels more like a private park. Stroll past artfully landscaped gardens, relax beneath a charming pergola wrapped in grapevines, and let the gentle sounds of a water feature melt the day away. A two-car extended garage and whole-house generator round out this truly exceptional offering.
Bella Vista at its finest — and then some. Schedule your private tour before someone else does.
