If you've ever taken a walk down 1100 East near the U, some Sunday evening stroll with gelato in hand, you've probably seen this lovely yet unassuming bungalow tucked away among the trees and paused to admire its charm and felt, at just the sight of it, as if you've suddenly come home.

Properties like this will do that. They make us feel safe; they make us feel at ease. 

This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home, with its low pitched roof and prominent front porch, represents the classic style of architecture known as Arts & Crafts, but this residence is not a renovated turn-of-the-century bungalow. This home was custom built in 2005 and was done so with thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship. Take for example the shake shingle exterior and genuine stone cladding chimney.

Some Arts & Crafts bungalows can suffer from interiors being dark and closed off, but the interior here is open and bright with lots of windows and contemporary finishes such as bamboo flooring, quarter sawn oak cabinetry and Viking range. We love the butler station with that wallpaper treatment, and the fireplace in the living room feels so cozy! 

On the lower level you'll find 2 more bedrooms, a family room as well as a 2nd fireplace. There's plenty of storage space, both here and in the detached 2 car garage at the back of the property. 

The exterior has been professionally landscaped with native plants and trees, and a pair of decks and a firepit make it the perfect spot to unwind or host an intimate gathering. At just under 2,500 square feet and located not far from fabulous dining near the university and downtown, this reimagined bungalow is the perfect size and in the perfect location.

All that's left is for you to call it home.
