Bungalow, Cape Cod, Conventional, Traditional

Some homes have stories that deserve to keep being told. From the street, it’s a warm, inviting bungalow tucked on a charming side street in South Euclid. Step inside, and you’ll feel it — the sense of history still woven into the space, now balanced by thoughtful, modern updates. The kitchen, a down to the to the studs renovations and rebuilt for today’s lifestyle, with new cabinets, stone countertops, a full suite of appliances, and a reimagined layout that makes every square foot both more useful and more beautiful. The original hardwood floors, built-ins, and wonderfully funky fireplace with wood burning insert, remain as reminders of the home’s enduring character. Fresh carpet leads upstairs to three cozy bedrooms, including one with the original zoo wallpaper lovingly preserved from the former owner — a nostalgic nod to the home’s past. Upstairs also features a fully redesigned full bathroom and a private balcony with composite decking with low-maintenance railings, perfect for morning coffee or a peek at the moon. Off the dining room, another porch, this one covered, extends your living space outdoors. The newly finished lower-level family room offers more room for play space, office or movie nights, while the other half remains open for storage and laundry. Outside, the oversized detached garage feels brand new — never even used for parking, only for storage — and the newer roof, HVAC, and updated mechanicals mean everything here has been cared for and considered. But perhaps the most special part of this home is the community that surrounds it. Just a few parcels down, you’ll find the Hinsdale community garden where neighbors grow, gather, and connect. And along the back fence, a vintage rose garden waits to bloom again next spring — another story continuing right where it left off. This is more than a renovation, it's a home where history meets heart, where the past and present meet effortlessly, waiting for someone new to write the next chapter.
