They stopped building bungalows like this in 1929. Fortunately, Greene & Proppe brought this one back. This West Ridge gem in not a flip--it's a full architectural restoration. You'll feel the difference the moment you step inside. Gracious high ceilings and original refinished hardwood floors set the tone throughout. The living room features restored original windows and classic crown moldings, while the formal dining room is appointed with intricate dental moldings, and restored original windows--each room distinct, both beautifully considered. A rebuilt gas fireplace framed by a beautiful wood mantel with built-in bookshelves anchors the main living space. Original solid wood doors with exceptional vintage hardware complete the period picture, as does the rare original tile roof, a hallmark of 1920's craftsmanship that simply isn't found on homes built today. Modern comfort has been thoughtfully woven in: central air via Space Pac, updated electrical with new circuit breaker box in the house. New windows throughout the rest of the home. The kitchen is vintage in character with an adjacent large custom-built wooden pantry that provides serious storage. A recently restored custom-built deck off the kitchen extends the living space outdoors-ideal for entertaining. Heated rear sunroom adds flexible year round living space-a home office, reading room or morning retreat. Step outside and the care continues: the owner is an avid gardener who has worked alongside a professional landscaper to cultivate lush, gorgeous gardens in both the front and back yards. This is truly a property that has been loved from the foundation up. The garage is in excellent condition--a rare and welcome bonus in a home of this era. This is a home for someone who appreciates craft, history, and a neighborhood with character. Perfect for young professionals or a couple looking to downsize without compromising on quality.
