Charming bungalow with timeless curb appeal, highlighted by a welcoming front porch and classic architectural details. Mature landscaping enhances the overall setting and adds to the home’s inviting presence. Positioned on a corner lot, the property offers added privacy and a strong neighborhood feel.
The covered front porch includes a porch swing, ceiling fan, and views straight down the tree-canopied street, a true extension of living space in this neighborhood. It's the kind of spot that makes coming home feel different than pulling into a garage. This corner-lot position means extra airflow and sightlines in every direction.
Light-filled living area centered around a wood-burning fireplace with custom built-ins for added character. Expansive windows enhance the natural light and create a bright, comfortable environment. The layout flows seamlessly into the rest of the home, making it ideal for everyday living.
The kitchen features a farmhouse sink, butcher block and granite countertops, detailed cabinetry with glass-front uppers, and a tile backsplash. Saltillo-style hex tile flooring adds warmth and character. French doors at the rear open directly to the fenced backyard, and a beverage cooler is built in next to the island a practical touch for daily life.
The main living area features hardwood floors, recessed lighting and crown moulding. A wide cased opening on the left leads to one of the first-floor bedrooms, keeping the layout connected without sacrificing privacy. Ceiling fan and abundant natural light make this room comfortable year-round.
This angle highlights the wood-burning fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving with lower cabinet storage. The glass-paned front door lets natural light into the room while framing the landscaped front yard. Built-ins like these eliminate the need for extra storage and give the living room a finished, purposeful feel.
From the living room, you can see directly into the formal dining room through a generous cased opening, with the kitchen visible beyond. This sightline shows how the three main living spaces connect in sequence living, dining, kitchen without feeling like one large open room. Hardwood floors run continuously through all three areas.
The formal dining room features hardwood flooring and crown moulding. A pass-through at the far end connects directly to the kitchen, keeping the layout practical for everyday living and entertaining. The room gets solid natural light from the side windows and benefits from the home's consistent ceiling height throughout.
This reverse angle shows the French doors connecting the dining room back to the living room, with the fireplace in clear view. It's a layout that works well for both daily routines and hosting, two defined rooms that open up to each other when you want them to. Crown molding and hardwood floors carry through without interruption.
Bright and inviting kitchen featuring granite countertops, a center island, and abundant cabinetry for storage. Large windows bring in natural light and create an open, airy feel throughout the space. Functional layout offers plenty of prep space and easy flow to adjacent living and dining areas.
This reverse angle shows the gas range, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and stainless steel appliances that come with the home. The doorway connects straight to the dining room, keeping the cook within reach of the rest of the house. Butcher block counters on the sink side and granite on the island give the kitchen both warmth and durability.
The island provides casual seating and additional prep space, positioned right next to floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that look out to the fenced backyard. Natural light fills this end of the kitchen throughout the day, with mature trees visible just beyond the awning. It's a layout that connects indoor and outdoor living without any effort.
This first-floor bedroom offers a flexible layout with hardwood floors, and a ceiling fan. Multiple windows on two walls keep the room bright and well-ventilated throughout the day. Whether used as a bedroom, home office, or both, the space adapts easily, a real plus for those who work from home.
The full bath features a soaking tub with classic subway tile surround, hex tile flooring, and polished chrome fixtures. A wood vanity with marble countertop and farmhouse-style basin sits opposite the tub, with the doorway opening to the hallway and bedrooms. This bathroom serves the first-floor bedrooms and is centrally located within the home's layout.
A closer look at the vanity shows the farmhouse-style basin, marble countertop, and warm wood cabinetry with ample drawer storage below. Chrome hardware and a glass pendant light fixture keep the look clean and cohesive with the rest of the home. There's solid counter space on both sides of the sink for everyday use.
The first-floor primary bedroom includes hardwood floors, and a ceiling fan. Built-in closet storage lines one full wall, providing generous capacity without taking up floor space. Crown molding and natural light from multiple windows round out a comfortable, well-proportioned room.
From this angle, you can see the double closet configuration, direct hallway and bathroom access, and a French door leading to the adjacent sitting area. The layout keeps the primary bedroom private while staying connected to the main areas of the home. Hardwood floors continue seamlessly from the living spaces into this room.
This windowed nook off the primary bedroom adds flexible square footage, ideal for a reading area, small workspace, or additional storage. Natural light pours in from two exposures, with hardwood floors and a French door connecting back to the primary. It's a practical bonus not often found in homes of this era.
The private third bedroom sits on the second floor with vaulted ceilings, its own closet, and a full en-suite bath making it function almost like a separate suite. This is an ideal setup for a roommate, guest, or anyone wanting their own level of the house. The added privacy and separation from the first-floor bedrooms give renters real flexibility in how they use the home.
This alternate angle of the third bedroom shows the charming dormer window nook with built-in natural light from three sides a great reading or lounging spot. The closet entry and additional eave storage are visible to the left, making the most of the roofline. Between the vaulted ceiling, en-suite bath, and this kind of architectural detail, the upstairs feels like its own private retreat.
From this perspective, you can see how the upstairs bedroom connects to its own full bath, a dedicated closet, and additional storage tucked under the eaves.
Spacious upstairs closet with built-in shelving provides excellent storage and organization options. Sloped ceiling design adds character while maximizing usable space. Ideal for clothing, seasonal storage, or additional organization needs.
The second full bath is located upstairs and exclusively serves the third bedroom, featuring a pedestal sink, walk-in shower with subway tile surround, and mosaic tile flooring. Beadboard wainscoting and chrome fixtures keep the look clean and classic. Having a dedicated bath on this level reinforces the suite-like independence of the upstairs living space.
Step out through the kitchen's French doors onto a raised deck with an awning a natural spot for morning coffee or outdoor dining. The fenced backyard beyond offers privacy, and the gravel patio area provides additional usable space right off the steps. This kind of indoor-outdoor connection from the kitchen is a daily-use feature, not just a weekend perk.
The fenced backyard features a well-maintained lawn, string lights, landscaped flower beds, and a paver walkway leading to the oversized detached garage. A sprinkler system is in place, and landscaping maintenance is included in the lease one less thing to manage. The gate at the back provides access to the garage and driveway from the yard.
This view back toward the house shows the kitchen bump-out with its awning-covered French doors, mature landscaping along the foundation, and string lights overhead. The yard is fully fenced with a wood privacy fence and gets good sun exposure throughout the day. It's a comfortable outdoor space for pets, kids, or just unwinding after work.
Another angle of the backyard highlighting the bedroom-side windows, flowering shrubs along the edged beds, and the tall wood privacy fence that borders the property. The lawn is in excellent shape with the included sprinkler system doing the heavy lifting. For a Heights bungalow on a 5,000 sq ft corner lot, this is a generous amount of usable green space.
Spacious backyard with green space, ideal for relaxing or enjoying the outdoors. Oversized detached garage and gated driveway provide secure parking and added convenience. Additional paved area allows for extra parking or flexible outdoor use.
This wide shot from the corner of W. Cottage and Michaux shows the full scope of the 5,000 sq ft corner lot, including the mature tree canopy, fenced side yard, and front porch. The Michaux Street sign is visible at the corner, confirming the home's prime position in North Norhill. Walkable to Studewood shops, the Heights Hike & Bike Trail, Donovan Park, and top-rated schools this location delivers on every front.
