An authentic 1920’s bungalow well-maintained but untouched by remodelers – this is one of the few completely original bungalows remaining in the Historic Kenwood neighborhood. Built with true craftsman quality construction, the home has a solid foundation and pier structure, with no settling or sagging floors or walls. It captures all of the “front porch” charm of its era, with energy-efficient improvements and systems that make it a smart choice for today.
