DETAILS:

At StayBham, we love restoring and renovating historic properties, returning them to their original charm and offering unique, luxury vacation retreats. Charles on 11th, our latest project, is a carefully restored 1919 Arts and Crafts Foursquare with 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. Perfect for your next getaway or special event, the house offers fantastic spaces for gathering, both inside and outside, and when you and your guests are ready for downtime, slip away to the privacy of three separate apartments.

Apartment 1, on the first floor, is wheelchair accessible and incredibly inviting. With two bedrooms and two baths, it can sleep up to 6. The master bedroom features a memory foam king mattress and has a large, walk-in closet and a private ensuite bathroom with a tub. The second bedroom has accessible, built-in full-over-queen bunk beds, perfect for guests of any age. The second bath was designed with accessibility in mind -- a curbless shower with a spacious tile bench make this bathroom easy for anyone to use. Looking to cook while you are with us? You'll love the new, eat-in kitchen with top-of-the-line black stainless appliances. Well stocked with all of the pots and pans you might need. The custom-made dining table has seating for 8, and it's on casters for easy moving. Step through the original pocket doors into the adjacent living room, which invites you and your guests to relax around the original fireplace (no fires, please). Play a CD or record from our hand-picked selection, or enjoy your favorite movie or TV show on the smart TV, with Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+ included.

Apartment 2, on the second floor, is grounding and bright. With three bedrooms and one bath, it can sleep up to 8. The master bedroom features a stunning king-sized bed with a large walk-in closet. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and a separate desk area if you need to tackle some work while you are with us. The third bedroom is playful and inviting, with built-in full-over-queen bunk beds and a cozy, oversized bean bag, guests of all ages won't want to leave. The full kitchen in apartment 2 offers everything you need for a quick snack or a full meal. The built-in banquette provides a wonderful perch to enjoy the afternoon, and you can see the history of the home in the custom farmhouse table. Made entirely from reclaimed wood (the legs are made from studs reclaimed from the house!) and on casters of easy moving, the table is a perfect addition to the house. Finally, the spacious, spa-like bath is a perfect place to unwind with beautiful views of the backyard. The separate vanities provide plenty of space for you and your guests to store your effects, and the amazing shower with built-in bench and two shower heads invites you to relax for a while.

Apartment 3, on the second and third floor, is quirky, bright, and fun. Enter through the rear of the house to this two-story, lofty one bedroom/one bath with additional beds in the living room. The apartment can sleep up to 6. The master bedroom and living room are on the top floor, a reclaimed attic space with tons of charm. The master offers a plush California King memory foam bed and adorable built-in storage nooks. The adjacent living room offers plenty of room to lounge, with a leather sofa, Eames chair, and poof, as well as two, separate built-in queen-sized sleeping nooks -- perfect places to host additional guests or to just laze around for the evening. The light-filled kitchenette of apartment 3 is downstairs from the living room and bedroom. Framed by massive windows, overlooking the backyard, you'll love soaking in the sun in this adorable dine-in kitchenette. Stocked for a quick meal -- with refrigerator/freezer, convection toaster, microwave, and kettle -- this kitchenette has your basics covered. Off the kitchen, you'll find the coolest bathroom in town. With stunning geometric tiles and a massive walk-in shower with a seating bench, this bathroom is fun and inviting, and a double vanity offers plenty of room for you and your guests.

Step outside and the real fun begins. The beautifully restored front porch offers plenty of space to lounge and gather. Draw the curtains for additional privacy, or to shade yourself from the afternoon sun, and spread out on the spacious sectional. Follow the lighted path to the back of the house, and you will find the most amazing backyard in the neighborhood -- custom designed and accessible, the backyard offers hammocks, outdoor lounge areas, and a Weber propane grill. Perfect for entertaining or relaxing!

We try to make all of our spaces inviting homes away from home, so we strive to provide all of the comforts you might need to make your stay enjoyable. We take pride in the comfort of our beds and bedding, offering memory foam mattresses and breathable, bamboo sheets, which are soft, eco-friendly, and hypoallergenic. We also stock the apartments with organic, paraben- and cruelty-free shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash. Finally, to make your travel a little easier, all of our kitchens are stocked with locally-roasted whole bean coffee, grinders, kettles, and french presses, as well as an assortment of caffeinated and decaf teas.

We hope you have a wonderful stay with us! Want to explore the space? Try our virtual walk-through: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=LKAj6B5Nf6v
