This 915-Square-Foot Kings Highway Bungalow Has a Dream Closet You Wouldn’t Expect

It’s true: a great house transcends square footage through intentional, efficient design and the feeling you get when you are there. A small space can feel much larger than it is, the same way a large space can feel much smaller than it is. This week’s Highlight Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters, Senior Loan Officer with First Horizon, may be small, but this home’s worth is measured in more than square feet. Let’s take a look.

Compass listing agent Crystal Gonzalez said this Kings Highway historic bungalow, built in 1921, was taken down to the studs about six years ago, and then further upgrades were done by the current owners recently.

“For a home built in 1921, it’s as move-in ready as any new construction home,” said Gonzalez.

For anyone looking at buying a historic home, that’s one thing off your plate. The electrical and plumbing have already been updated. Additionally, the current owners have taken care of some big ticket items like new rain gutters, drainage, and foundation. The home has been beautifully landscaped with low-to-no-maintenance landscaping on a relatively small lot.

“It’s basically lock-and-leave. If someone were looking for a condo or townhome, this would be a great alternative,” said Gonzalez. You get some of the convenience of a condo without giving up a detached home.

The living room and kitchen have been opened up to maximize space in the main living area, and it works beautifully. Dark wood floors and high ceilings make the space feel even larger, and natural light works its magic through nice sized windows. The light, bright kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless appliances. Plenty of storage space and counter space for home chefs to do their thing for both every day meals and entertaining.

Every inch of this charming cottage has been designed with care and intention, from the cheeky paint colors (not a hint of greige to be seen!) to the inspired tile choices. Even the bathroom fixtures are chic. But wait, there’s more.

THIS is the primary closet. In a 915 square foot house. I almost didn’t include this picture because I thought it was the second bedroom.

And how cute is the backyard? A lovely deck and a board-on-board fence for privacy for your morning coffee or for a fun evening with friends. Speaking of fun, Bishop Arts is just a casual stroll away, along with dining and shopping on Davis Street.

This charming cottage is loaded with those extra special things that make a home feel like home, no matter the size. Turn-key and located in one of the area’s most popular districts, this listing has everything going for it.
