This is a circa 1923 frame airplane bungalow that has been renovated w/ new central heat & air and electrical, and updated plumbing. one of the reasons I bought this house is the sumptuous, almost tropical feeling plantings. The main front bed must have ten varieties of flora including ferns, a rose bush, Japanese maple, crape myrtle, day lillies, barberry, etc. The really cool thing, literally, is that all that greenery makes the large front porch w/ swing and fan a secluded extension of the house - right in front. There is one huge tree and a good size one in back shading the entire house. In the back are more ferns, crape myrtles, monkey grass, azaleas, and some shrubs that have grown to tree size. Tall fescue shade lawn there too. There is a new parking pad w/ access via a private alley off Cox. From the front porch you enter the living room w/ fireplace (coal burner) and mantel that opens into the dining room that has craftsman style wainscot and Mission chandelier. Behind the DR is the kitchen - but we opened up a pass through so activity in the kitchen is not cut off from the front rooms. The kitchen has a period crafstman feel w/ mahogany-stained Shaker cabinets, heart pine floor, matching Mission light fixture, and mosaic slate backsplash. Consessions to modernity are stainless steel 5-burner gas range, vented hood, dishwasher, AND REFRIGERATOR; island; and granite tops. There is an eating area w/ triple window overlooking the back yard. To the west of the kitchen is a master suite consisting of the bedroom, walk-in closet, linen closet, yet another closet, and bathroom w/ furniture vanity w/ granite top, tile floor, and tiled shower. Back up front, off the LR there is a stair hall w/ entry into the front bedroom, nice size, w/ walk-in closet and ceiling fan. The original bathroom is there and it has a tiled tub and shower, furniture vanity w/ granite top, and the original hex tile floor. There is a laundry closet for stacked washer and dryer. And new Bosch front-loaders come w/ it! Up the stairs is the reason for the "airplane" bungalow nomenclature - a single room that rises above the roof and has nine windows on three sides like a cockpit. It is a large - 19'+- room that even has an old fireplace. Fabulous studio w/ natural light. There is a closet and large,
