There are homes you just pass by… then ones that make you slow down. Welcome to this one-of-a-kind 1920s Craftsman bungalow—a Southern dream wrapped in charm, history, unmistakable presence. Set on a large, beautifully landscaped corner lot, this home captivates at first glance. A sweeping 418-square-foot wraparound porch, framed by mature greenery & blooming crape myrtles, creates that rare curb appeal that feels unforgettable. It’s the kind of home neighbors admire, & passersby remember. Step inside, & the story deepens. Interiors evoke a New Orleans-inspired mood—rich, layered, & inviting. A palette of warm charcoals & deep greens creates an intimate, moody ambiance, softened by natural light streaming through abundant windows dressed in plantation shutters. Historic character shines in the details: intricate trim work, coffered ceilings, box trim wainscoting, & five-piece molding around windows & doors. Decorative medallions & eclectic light fixtures with antique push-button switches punctuate each space, while original-style five-panel Craftsman doors, complete with vintage glass knobs, brass backplates, & skeleton keys, offer a tactile connection to the home’s heritage. Warm brown hardwood flooring runs throughout, grounding each space with richness & continuity. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both refined & functional. White shaker cabinetry with crown molding & glass panel accents is paired with under-cabinet lighting, brass hardware, & vintage-inspired backsplash. White marble countertops elevate the space, beautifully complementing the brass bridge-style faucet & stainless steel apron-front sink. GE Café Series appliances, a gas cooktop, wall oven, & dedicated beverage refrigerator complete the space. The living areas are warm & welcoming, centered around a functioning gas fireplace.
With over 1800 square feet of living space, the layout offers both flexibility & privacy. The home offers 3 true bedrooms plus a dedicated office—tucked away in the crow’s nest of the 2nd story, creating a quiet, inspiring retreat. The new construction addition primary suite is a serene escape, spacious enough for a king-sized bed & beautifully designed with French doors that open to the backyard. The en suite bathroom blends character & craftsmanship, highlighted by a custom vintage wood furniture piece transformed into a dual sink vanity, alongside classic finishes like penny hex mosaic tile & subway-tiled walls. The guest bathroom carries the timeless aesthetic with pedestal sink, tub & shower combo, classic subway tile detailing. A well-appointed laundry room features cabinetry & countertop; water softener system, & 2 AC units for efficient climate control. The fenced backyard is a private oasis—complete with pavers, lush landscaping, irrigation system, & thoughtfully designed spaces for gathering. An above-ground pool is complemented by the most charming (& practical!) outdoor half bath, while a fire pit area & custom outdoor bar invite memorable evenings. Gas has been integrated, with gas dryer, stovetop, tankless water heater, future front porch lanterns, & even gas lines plumbed for an outdoor fireplace. A 2-car attached garage adds convenience (a rarity in this neighborhood), while the 2021 renovation—paired with additional thoughtful updates in recent years—ensures peace of mind without sacrificing the home’s historic soul.
