RENOVATED DOWNTOWN BUNGALOW

An eye-catcher from the street, this expertly renovated downtown bungalow delivers on its promise in every way. Take the slate walkway to the covered front porch – your outdoor living room and people-watching perch. Measuring 21′ across, there’s ample room for your favorite wicker and rockers with space left over for a garden bench and plants that will enjoy equal parts sunshine and shade. A great spot to read the local paper with your morning coffee and catch up with the neighbors walking by.

Honey-hued heart pine floors complement the creamy walls and diffused natural light gives the house a soft glow. Thanks to the skillful eye of the owner/designer the floor plan is wide open with gathering, dining and kitchen running from front to back. Easy flow for daily living and for entertaining friends and family when they clamor to check out your new digs.

Sliders open to a side deck (good for grilling and your container herb garden) and from there you spill out to a pavered patio with a welcome shade tree canopy. There’s a seamless fusion between your indoor and outdoor living areas and with our more temperate climate, you’ll use and enjoy every bit. The kitchen bar top was hand cut and crafted from a downed pecan tree that grew across the street – a work of art unto itself. The kitchen is clad with earth toned granite, crisp white cabinetry and stainless appliances and the intelligent design keeps you in the mix but hides your workspace from view thanks to the elevated bar.

En-suite, the master is at the back of the house. Soft carpet for your bare feet, great wall space for furniture placement options and three closets. An exposed brick chimney adds architectural texture to the polished travertine floor and shower and granite vanity in the master bath. A very generous utility room is off the master. Measuring 20′ by 8′ it would be simple to create an office, small studio, yoga room on one side and leave the other for the washer and dryer.

The guest room with en-suite bath is at the front of the house. A sunny room with tall windows and small walk-in closet, it will stay full if you let it. An enclosed sun porch off the living room can be pressed into service as you need it, but it will instantly become a favorite room. Dressed in narrow beadboard on the walls and a wider one on the ceiling, there are multiple windows inviting the sunshine in. Finally, an oversized single garage with a deep and wide driveway are a luxury downtown! Come visit.
