    What's special

    New fence and gateInviting living spacesAlmost new playsetSpacious kitchenNatural lightTall ceilingsHardwood floors
    This classic Craftsman-inspired bungalow with enduring architectural character is one of Midtown’s most charming homes, and one everyone in Cooper Young always stops to admire. From the moment you step into the foyer, you will fall in love. Hardwood floors, tall ceilings, natural light, and charm throughout set the tone for this special home. Downstairs offers inviting living spaces that are perfect for curling up with a book or hosting friends with ease. The spacious kitchen features a bar area ideal for serving drinks, coffee, or a buffet when entertaining. A rare find for Midtown, the home includes a bedroom on the main level, while upstairs offers three additional bedrooms, all with very generous closet space. Outside has been thoughtfully designed by the owner-a landscape architect. The almost new playset will remain. Over $70,000 in improvements since purchase include fresh interior paint, a second-story AC unit, and a new fence and gate. The sellers have truly loved this home!
