About This Home
Tucked away on a quiet North Central street near 16th Avenue and Northern, this timeless bungalow-style residence offers a rare blend of classic charm and meticulous long-term care. Owned by the same family for 37 years and thoughtfully updated throughout, the home sits on just under a quarter acre of flourishing landscape that feels more like a private garden retreat than a standard backyard.
Inside, you'll find an intelligently designed 1,886 square feet of living space with beautiful hardwood flooring, crisp crown molding, and a layout that flows effortlessly. The kitchen, HVAC, bathrooms, roof, and windows have all been fully updated, blending modern function with enduring quality. The result is a space that feels simultaneously warm, fresh, and move-in ready. Step outside, and the home unfolds into something extraordinary. Behind the lush greenery and vine-covered pergolas lies a backyard that defies expectation raised garden beds, shade trees, blooming borders, and whimsical details like a cedar playhouse with porch, gable vents, and brick steps. An outdoor fireplace, generous covered patio, and string-lit entertaining spaces offer room to relax or host with ease. The private pool is bordered by mature plantings and multiple seating areas, making it equally suited for lively gatherings or quiet solitude.
This property stands out not just for its features, but for the atmosphere it createsintimate, cultivated, and undeniably inviting. It is a rare example of a home where both house and grounds have been lovingly maintained and carefully grown into something truly special.
