home for sale: Beautiful Bellmore, New York Home For Sale - 07/22/12 11:09 AM
Luck is sometimes described as being in the right place at the right time.  It has never been truer than at this moment in time.  An unexpected relocation has brought a wonderful home in Bellmore to the market that was never meant to be sold.  It was recently redone to the very high standards of a discerning family.  With nine foot ceilings in most of the first level, architectural mouldings true to an early, grander time, a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, rich wood floors and a built in, Sharp microwave/warming drawer, this kitchen is truly the hub of … (2 comments)
