The Find of The Week is an Adorable Updated Craftsman Bungalow Near Bishop Arts

The best advice I can offer our readers today is to have a great Realtor on hand, especially if you are looking for an absolutely adorable historic Craftsman Bungalow. Over the past week, I’ve been tracking several homes in the $600k to $700k price range, and every single one that was priced right, updated, and staged is contingent. 

Those three factors are great marketing advice for sellers. The homes that have not gone contingent in the past week are not priced correctly, updated, or staged. It’s a simple equation, and it works. This cutie just opened to showings today. That means if you love it, get on the phone to Dave Perry-Miller InTown listing agent Adam Murphy.

I mean now. I’m always right when I say a house won’t last!

Why We Love The Craftsman Bungalow

Craftsman Bungalow homes are loved for many reasons, chief among them is the welcoming front porch. I’ve yet to meet anyone with one of these vintage homes who does not spend an inordinate amount of time on the front porch sipping morning coffee and having a glass of wine with neighbors in the evening. Hats off to whoever chose the color palette because those mustard accents are inspired and complement the blue beautifully. 

There is always a balance to achieve when updating a historic home, and it’s been done extremely well in this Craftsman Bungalow.

I think every young family will appreciate the layout of the Craftsman Bungalow, which features an oversized primary suite that opens through French doors to a sitting area or nursery. 

There is so much to love about this 1945 Craftsman Bungalow, and it’s in one of the best locations ever. A block north and a few more blocks to the west puts you in the serenity of the 31-acre historic Kidd Springs Park, with a recreation center, shaded walking paths, a large playground, and a butterfly garden.

Walk a block to the south, and you are in the thick of the vibrant Bishop Arts District with great restaurants, shops, and endless entertainment options. This home is also in the sought-after Rosemont Elementary school district, and with 2,056 square feet, three bedrooms, and two Instagram-worthy bathrooms, it’s a perfect family home.

When you’re not enjoying the charm of the front porch, this property’s backyard is a family’s dream. An expansive deck with multiple levels is the perfect setting for outdoor picnics, barbecues, and birthday parties. This is the home where memories are made, and it’s the one to snag this weekend!

Murphy has this Craftsman Bungalow at 706 Woodlawn Ave. listed for $680,000. See it in person at the open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 19.
