Fully remodeled by Risinger Homes in 2011, complemented by the visionary design of Rick and Cindy Black Architects. Inside this inviting bungalow, you’ll find an open floorplan with long-leaf pine wood floors and exposed shiplap walls running from the dining to the kitchen. The gourmet kitchen showcases a modern remodel with butcher block counters and updated appliances. Tucked away at the rear of the kitchen is a quiet space under a picture window overlooking the backyard. On one side of the main house sits the master suite with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom. The master bedroom offers a large bookcase that is the headboard element for the bed. On the other side is a secondary bedroom and a guest bathroom. An office/mud room sits in the middle of the bedrooms with access to the driveway. Upstairs, you’ll find the 3rd bedroom which can also be utilized as an office space. The poolside flat stands as a two-bedroom detached residence with a full kitchen and bath, with a separate entrance visible to the street side. The building harmonizes with the main house bungalow through color and proportion and incorporates modern detailing with the steel planter and douglas fir beams. Glass doors in the front room open to create an indoor-outdoor living space. In the back of the casita, two bedrooms are separated by the galley kitchen with walls that look like shiplap, reminiscent of the main house. The same butcher block cabinetry is in this efficient kitchen. Wood ceilings warm the space. Stained concrete floors run through the casita, making it easy to clean up for pool parties. Nestled against the serene backdrop of Blunn Creek, this property offers privacy and tranquility with the convenience of swift access to the Stacy Neighborhood Park, downtown, and the vibrant South Congress area.
