Cheerful 1-Bedroom 'Pied-A-Terre' in Belmont Shore

The 'pied-a-terre' (French for a 'flat') is located above the owner's Spanish Colonial house with a separate entrance off the street. The apartment is furnished with all the comforts of home.

Upon entering, one is greeted with a cheerful infusion of colors, visually separating the living spaces of an open floor plan. Its many windows and French doors provide breeziness throughout. Collectibles from different countries lend an air of worldliness with a touch of whimsy.

A hallway leading to the cozy bedroom offers privacy from other guests sleeping in the living room. For the light sleeper, there's a soothing 'white noise' machine to camouflage neighborhood sounds.

The well-equipped kitchenette with its granite counter top is ideal for preparing a quick meal or mixing a cocktail. Instead of cooking, check out the nearby eateries of various cuisines and budgets. Or, on a warm sunny day, enjoy a BBQ in the patio below.
