    Welcome to 926 Catharine Street — a truly special Bella Vista home where historic character meets modern comfort. The handsome white brick façade and striking red door open into a charming foyer featuring original stained glass panels and a glass-paneled interior door. A large bay window floods the living room with natural light, creating an inviting space for relaxing or entertaining. The dining room includes a substantial hutch, and it flows seamlessly into the one year old open kitchen, beautifully updated with abundant cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful custom wood breakfast bar. The original tin ceiling adds a touch of vintage charm. From the kitchen, step out to the slate patio — spacious enough for outdoor dining, gardening, and gatherings. From the Living Room go up the wood staircase to the second floor which offers an open den area, two bright and generously sized bedrooms with deep custom closets, and a full guest bath featuring a jetted tub, marble flooring, and a Euro style towel warmer. The third floor is a full-floor primary suite, complete with a marble-tiled bath, another Euro style towel warmer, and a sitting/dressing room with a wall of custom closets. Glass sliding doors lead to a large balcony, where you’ll enjoy fantastic skyline views. The finished lower level provides flexible space for a workspace or playroom, built-in shelving, an area ready for a powder room, a full-size LG washer/dryer, and a separate mechanical room with ample storage. A bonus exterior door offers convenient street egress. Additional features include hardwood floors throughout, fabulous radiator heat, and a new roof. All of this is set on a lovely tree-lined street in the heart of Bella Vista — just steps from several parks, Whole Foods, the Italian Market, and an incredible selection of renowned restaurants.
