Step into your main character era with this seriously charming Midtown Craftsman cottage—where historic character meets just the right amount of modern glow-up. First things first: the porch. Not just a porch, but a full-width, hangout-all-day kind of porch—complete with a dreamy bed swing and plenty of room for coffee dates, wine nights, or lazy Sunday scrolling. The original sconces framing the front door add that perfect vintage vibe you just can’t fake. Inside, you’re welcomed by a cozy-but-spacious living room featuring a decorative fireplace, warm white walls, and those gorgeous original hardwood floors that instantly make everything feel elevated. Slide through the glass double doors into a dining room that’s basically begging to host dinner parties, game nights, or your next “I’m finally using my nice dishes” moment—topped off with a standout light fixture that ties it all together. The kitchen delivers where it counts: shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range, and stainless steel appliances—aka everything you need, whether you’re a takeout connoisseur or your friend group’s unofficial chef. Out back, you’ve got a super practical laundry/storage space with its own exterior door (because real life still needs to happen somewhere). With 3 bedrooms and a stylish full bath featuring a spacious shower, there’s room for guests, a home office, gym space, or that hobby you swore you’d pick up this year. The thoughtful paint colors throughout keep things feeling fresh and move-in ready, while hardwood floors run through most of the home, with tile where you actually want it. And let’s talk about that yard—larger than you’d expect for Midtown, giving you space to garden, expand, entertain, or finally adopt that dog you’ve been saving reels about. Location? You’re just 5 minutes from downtown, close to all the energy, eats, and fun—including favorites like Red or White—so your weekends basically plan themselves. Bonus: the roof is just 2 years old and fortified, giving you one less thing to worry about, plus lower insurance. This isn’t just a house—it’s a vibe, a lifestyle, and your next chapter all rolled into one. Call today for your private tour!

R-1
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
