Nestled in the heart of the highly desirable Waveland neighborhood, this storybook 1.5-story Craftsman bungalow is the kind of home that makes you slow down the moment you arrive. From the full-width screened-in front porch to the classic brick columns and mature shade trees, the curb appeal is unforgettable. Step inside and prepare to be wowed! Original details shine throughout - a stunning glass entry door, wood-beam coffered ceilings, built-in columns, and a show-stopping dining room buffet straight out of a magazine. Original hardwood floors and rich woodwork add timeless character you simply can’t replicate. The updated kitchen blends charm and function with generous cabinetry and a full pantry wall. The main floor offers a spacious primary bedroom (yes, it fits a king), a charming full bath, and a versatile flex space perfect for a bedroom, office, or cozy den. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with great closet space and classic Craftsman charm. The professionally waterproofed lower level adds bonus workspace, laundry, bath, and ample storage. Out back, the fully fenced yard is an urban farmers dream; ideal for gardening, chickens, hammock afternoons, or firepit nights. An oversized two-car garage easily fits vehicles, bikes, and extras. Character. Condition. Location. Homes like this don’t come along often - and when they do, they steal hearts fast. This Waveland gem is ready for its next chapter.
