Property details

About 1221 Buena Vista St

A little over twenty years ago, from a spectacular carved stone Victorian shell with only its original staircases and lovely covered front porch remaining, the Sellers’ architect created a spacious bright energy efficient Arts and Crafts style home within. A new house within a shell enabled all new mechanicals, recessed lighting, sturdy oak floors, insulation in all walls, roofs and even in the bright full height basement with direct outside access. Additional comfort amenities include circulating hot water to baths and kitchen and heated floors in the kitchen and Primary Suite’s bathroom. The beautiful kitchen includes a dual fuel 40” range, 2 drawer dishwasher and large island with seating. Exterior maintenance is minimized with a large sunroom instead of a back yard and nearly indestructible rare natural IPE wood flooring at the front porch, side decks and sunroom. Located in the prime first block of the historic Mexican War Streets near the park and many popular restaurants.
