Winsome 1925 Bungalow in Historic Walltown. Rich, warm hardwood floors, new HVAC system, and a cozy gas fireplace ready for the first cold snap; this 2BR/1BA bungalow has been quietly perfecting the art of "just enough house" since the "Great Gatsby" was the hottest summer beach read. Rich hardwoods, high ceilings, built-ins, and on point updates blend historic charm with a clean, unfussy aesthetic. It's proof that some homes never needed to be supersized to get it right. The front porch swing is destined to become your favorite coffee spot, overlooking a newly planted native perennial garden buzzing with pollinators. Out back, the deck, patio, and fenced yard are ready for everything from volleyball games and backyard BBQs to lazy evenings spent watching the dogs convince themselves they're protecting the property. When adventure calls, leave the car behind. Walk to Ninth Street for a Whole Foods run, Broad Street for lunch, or Joe Van Gogh when only your favorite coffee will do. You'll spend less time commuting and more time wondering why you ever thought you needed a bigger house. Come say hello.
