DO YOU BUNGALOW? Come home to this classic American Craftsman Bungalow. Rich in history with a beautiful story to be told, this home was originally hand crafted in the later part of 1917 with the stout timber of this period and occupied in 1918. It has been gracefully maintained throughout the decades. Its robust architecture has allowed many of its original features such as wrap around porch, tapered columns, scalloped gable ends, intricate interior woodworking such as 10” baseboards, window casings, doors, door casings, built-ins, transom casing for entry way including French doors for privacy, solid wood heart pine flooring, period specific floor plan to accommodate both public and private gathering spaces, Jack and Jill half bath, large and abounding windows that allow the flow of natural lighting throughout, decorative fireplaces, to stand the test of time. While keeping the integrity of this timeless masterpiece, the home was modernly updated in 2005 to include plumbing, electrical, windows, roof, vinyl siding, solid wood kitchen cabinetry, electric water heater, three air conditioning units, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops in kitchen and baths, tile flooring in kitchen and baths, and addition of an expansive Florida room with built in wet bar and seating and a primary suite and bath that includes two walk-in closets with built in closet organization, dual sinks, beautifully tiled walk in shower and claw foot tub.
