Description

Timeless architecture meets modern upgrades in this beautifully restored 1930s Craftsman bungalow. Situated on a large lot, this historic home blends original charm—including refinished hardwood floors, arched doorways, and a welcoming front porch—with thoughtful updates for modern living. Major improvements include a new HVAC system and tankless water heater (2022), PEX plumbing, new sewer line, raised foundation with cedar skirting, attic and wall insulation, Hardiplank siding, fresh exterior paint, double-pane windows with plantation shutters, new gutters, and a wrought iron driveway gate with magnetic lock. In 2025, 2” closed-cell spray foam insulation was added beneath the foundation, along with new weatherstripping on front and back doors. The backyard retreat features a 16’ x 16’ porch, professional landscaping, turf lounge area, and an 8-foot Cowboy Pool with heating and cooling. Minutes from the Heights Hike & Bike Trail, M-K-T, dining, shopping, and major freeways.
