Small in stature, big on charm, this classic Craftsman bungalow knows how to make an entrance. A generous front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect perch for morning coffee, neighborly hellos, or watching the world wander by. Inside, you’ll find surprisingly grand details, including original hardwood floors with decorative herringbone and picture-frame inlays, handsome wainscoting, and built-ins that bring both character and useful storage. The layout is cozy and comfortable, with thoughtful updates that make everyday living easy. The bathroom was remodeled in 2017, the furnace replaced in 2018, air conditioning added in 2022, and a new roof installed 2024. The hot water heater was replaced in 2016. Out back, the fenced and landscaped yard feels like a private little retreat. A covered patio creates an inviting spot for outdoor dining, rainy-day coffee, or summer evenings with friends, while covered storage and an outdoor workspace add practical room for projects, bikes, garden tools, and all the extras of daily life. A detached finished space offers even more possibility; home office, art studio, music room, workout space, or the hideaway you didn’t know you needed. Located just a pleasant stroll from the newly improved Mt. Scott Community Center, with its pools, fitness spaces, classes, and community activities, this home makes it easy to stay connected to the neighborhood. Petite, polished, and full of personality, it’s proof that a home doesn’t need to be enormous to live beautifully. [Home Energy Score = 8.
