Inside, the residence boasts four well-appointed bedrooms, two and a half baths, and an impressive five fireplaces, ensuring a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Each room is a celebration of the past, with meticulous attention to detail that honors the original design while offering modern comforts. Bella Vista is not just a home; it's a legacy waiting to be continued by those who appreciate the romance and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
