Property Description
Exterior & Curb Appeal
The journey begins at the large, welcoming front porch—a hallmark of the Craftsman era designed for community and relaxation. The exterior has been enhanced for modern convenience with a newly constructed, large two-car carport and a fresh gravel driveway that provides ample off-street parking for up to six vehicles. The lot is level and intentionally designed for easy maintenance, allowing you more time to enjoy the surroundings rather than tending to intensive yard work.
Historic Interior Integrity
Inside, the home retains its soul through original Craftsman features that are becoming increasingly rare. The main floor showcases the sturdy craftsmanship of the late 1930s, featuring original hardwood trim, floors, and built-ins. These elements are prime candidates for refinishing, offering the opportunity to restore the deep, warm luster of the wood that defines this architectural style.
To bridge the gap between historic charm and modern livability, we recommend leaning into the aesthetic of the late 1930s, which saw a shift toward lighter, more vibrant palettes. A soft pastel green on the walls would honor the home's heritage while making the spaces feel airy and updated.
Main Floor Layout
The functional main floor includes:
Two Bedrooms: Generously sized rooms that maintain their original proportions.
Galley Kitchen: A classic layout that prioritizes efficiency and can be easily modernized with new cabinetry or stone countertops.
Updated Jack-and-Jill Bathroom: Providing a convenient pass-through between living spaces, this area serves as a bridge between the home's original footprint and contemporary utility.
Value-Add Opportunities
While the interior currently requires updates, the "heavy lifting" of infrastructure has already begun with the installation of all-new PEX plumbing throughout the home. For those looking to increase square footage and equity, the expansive attic presents a premier opportunity. With its high pitch, the attic could be finished to create a massive third bedroom or a primary suite complete with an additional bathroom.
Modernizing the Details
To complete the transformation, the home is ready for a lighting overhaul. By swapping out dated fixtures for period-appropriate or modern Craftsman-style pendants and vanity lights, you can illuminate and restore wood features and highlight the unique character of every room.
This bungalow is more than just a house; it is a legacy project. Whether you are preserving the 1930s craftsmanship or blending it with 2026's modern comforts, this home offers the bones, the location, and the potential to become a true neighborhood showpiece.
