Imagine living in a church, entering your home through a bell tower, and sleeping in a choir loft. Built in 1850, the Belfry is in the heart of Church Hill, surrounded by great restaurants and parks. This one-bedroom, one-bath unit—one of two on the front of the building--is two stories with interior access to a louvered aerie offering views of downtown. From a vestibule you enter the soaring Great Room, with massive arched windows that bathe the unit in light. A breakfast bar connects the Great Room to a galley kitchen with its original pine floor, natural wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a slate countertop. A charming staircase sweeps you to the balcony, a semi-circular space with bedroom, bath and study. The bath is a chorus of cork, copper and glass. When you think you've seen it all, you discover the second staircase off the bedroom that leads to the hideaway in the belfry itself. With secure basement storage and on-site parking this condo provides lock and leave convenience. Proper Pie, the Hill Café, Capitol Trail, and James River are all nearby. Two minutes to the interstate and 10 minutes to the airport.
