Description

Located blocks from Cherokee Park this exceptional Arts and Crafts style bungalow is sure to delight. You will truly understand why bungalows are often described as ”homes, not houses”! Built in 1923 it was designed with an open floor plan, lots of windows and attention to detail. The true hallmark of an Arts and Crafts Bungalow was to be in harmony with nature and that has been maintained and enhanced over the years. Starting with the wide front porch and ending with the amazing rear screen porch you will find that this home has a true connection to nature. There is no doubt that this home has been well loved. The living room features lovely hardwood floors, original cabinetry flanking the gas fireplace and french doors opening to the dining room and the hall. The huge dining room is perfect for entertaining! A classic white kitchen with a breakfast bar and tons of counter space will make any chef happy. There’s actually enough counter space for a true buffet line. The first floor is completed with a full bath and a cozy den. Lots of new windows throughout and zoned HVAC keep the home at a comfortable temperature year round. The second floor offers an amazing primary suite seldom found in the Highlands. There’s even a giant custom designed walk in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath offer plenty of space to spread out. Both of the auxiliary bedrooms have enormous walk in closets that are seldom found in this era home. The lower level is another space that defies expectations. It’s a massive comfortable great room perfect for movie nights. There’s also room for dining, crafts, music and a home office. There’s even a spot for exercise equipment. It’s a very versatile space. You are limited only by your imagination. The entire home oozes charm and coziness despite being so spacious. There are also many practical features that are seldom found in an older home including a large laundry, great storage spaces and a wonderful long driveway and oversized two car garage. The yard is beautifully landscaped and has a space for raised bed gardening. There’s a happy and calm aura to the home that offers serenity from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It’s truly a dream opportunity to own a park side home in a neighborhood that is walkable. There’s a fabulous coffee shop on the corner and too many restaurants to mention. From fine dining to fun taco nights there’s something for everyone!
