About This Home

This gorgeous, fully furnished 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 vintage-retro 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 bar, a gas stove fireplace with remote control, and an acoustic piano to play! The adjoining formal dining room sports a vintage table with chairs reupholstered in Italian top-grain leather. The updated cottage kitchen includes a mobile butcher-block chef’s cart, a purified water dispenser, and a large walk-in pantry with an additional, retro-style refrigerator and separate deep freezer. The countertops were recently updated with Cambria quartz and a porcelain farmhouse sink with a second bar on the opposite side. New exposed ductwork runs from the kitchen into the dinette area, which is furnished with a working antique Grandfather Clock and retro barstools. The Lone Star-themed TV room highlights a large television with a custom top grain leather sofa ensemble, as well as a walk-in storage closet. Adjoining is the first-floor vintage bathroom with an antique clawfoot bathtub on display. The attached laundry room comes with a laundry table and modern stacked appliances. The second floor has three relaxing vintage-style bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms come with televisions. All three bedrooms have new memory foam mattresses and luxury bedding with extra sheets and blankets. There are two full bathrooms upstairs, and a home office with an extra-large desk, color printer, television, and antique sofa. The oversized backyard is highlighted with large, matured trees and a 6- ft wooden privacy fence. The patio is partially shaded and furnished with wrought iron tables and a gas barbecue grill. There’s a fire pit area with a chiminea and Adirondack chairs, and the landscaping front and back have automated irrigation. Entertainment, Shopping, Grocery and the iconic Kessler School are all within one mile, and Methodist Hospital is 1.7 miles from the house. The newly “rewilded” Kevin W. Sloan park is slotted for completion in summer 2025 and is a short walk down Wentworth Street. A beautiful neighborhood for walking under the canopy of Oak, Pecan and brilliant Crape Myrtle trees!
