Come to our Open House this Saturday, May 16 from 1:00-3:00! This gorgeous 1910 Craftsman-style Bungalow is located in the coveted Winnetka Heights Historic District, minutes from Bishop Arts and Trinity Groves! The home has been recently renovated with a playful retro/industrial vibe, and the sunrise-facing front porch boasts a tree-covered hideaway to enjoy your morning coffee with the songbirds. Welcome inside! The hand-scraped pine flooring accentuates a large living/entertaining area showcasing a pub-height bar and a freestanding iron gas fireplace. The open front area of the home includes a formal dining room and is filled with natural sunlight from the large, classically framed windows, typical of an Airplane Bungalow. The updated cottage kitchen includes an oversized walk-in pantry with a 9-cubic foot deep freezer. Recently updated Cambria Quartz countertops accent a porcelain farmhouse sink with a second bar on the opposite side. Exposed ductwork runs around the kitchen and into the dinette area. The TV room has a huge walk-in storage closet and an adjoining vintage bathroom with an antique clawfoot bathtub on display. You will find modern stacked appliances in the attached laundry room. Take the open balustrade staircase up to the second floor to find four relaxing, vintage-style bedrooms, as well as two full bathrooms. The oversized backyard is highlighted with large, matured trees and a 6- ft wooden privacy fence. The full- length back patio has extended roof coverage on one half, and the other half is covered with a trellis for plenty of outdoor seating, rain or shine! One side of the backyard is lawn, and the other is river pebble with a huge flagstone table for your Adirondacks and lawn chairs. Landscaping front and back have automated smart irrigation. The renowned Bishop Arts District is a 3 minute drive away, and entertainment, shopping, grocery and the iconic Kessler School are all within one mile. Methodist Hospital is located 1.7 miles from the house. The newly "rewilded" Kevin W. Sloan Park is just a short stroll down family-friendly Wentworth street. A beautiful neighborhood for walking under the canopy of Oak, Pecan and brilliant Crape Myrtle trees! If you love historic homes, then this is a must-see! We have recently done extensive renovations while preserving the majority of the original historic structure and details from the early 20th century. We would also like to welcome your furry family! We can negotiate any kind of pet. Each of your approved pets will need to be added to the lease after screening. This house has been our family home since 2004, and our goal is to showcase early 20th century Craftsman ideals with retro cottage/industrial accents while providing security and modern conveniences to our renters. Please message us and we can schedule you for a showing with Scott!
