4313 Ave C


Meet the newest member of my obsession club.

A 1923 Craftsman Bungalow.
Enter the Living Room.
Notice the light fixture and unpainted wood trim (not always easy to find these days)
Dine in style with another original light fixture.
I wonder if there used to be a built in hutch in here at one point?
They seem to have a bit too much furniture in here.
Personally, I like the less is more approach.
Especially in a small space.
Now the kitchen has a decent enough layout, but the cabinets and tile...
Just really not doing much for me.
I love the ceiling though.
I'd just have to fix this up to my taste.

Extra bonus space.
In a small two bed/ one bath home, I'll take any extra space I can get.  
The total sq. ft. is 1,137.
Both bedrooms are plenty big enough for us.
*Love* that paneled door and natural light.
I'd spruce up the bathroom a bit, 
but it has a nice, fresh feeling to it.


Josh hates mowing, so this yard would be perfect for him.


And a little extra storage space never hurt anybody.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

This little charmer is a little closer to our price range...
BUT the Mr. isn't quite ready to commit.
Even with our A/C out...
Thankfully, our nice landlord is having someone over today to hopefully fix it.
Feels like a sauna over here.

Stay cool and I'll see you all tomorrow for Friday Pretties!

The house is great. I love the wood trim on the windows.

That sucks that your A/C is out. Hopefully your handyman is better than the one who came out to my place 2 years ago. LC

Lots of simple charm!
I hope that your A/C is fixed soon. The humidity can do you in...

See you tomorrow at Friday Pretties!!!

We lived in a 1920's 2 bedroom craftsmen Bungalow that was 912 square feet. It was small but cozy.
I loved that it still had the built in cabinets.
Love the charm! Hope your air gifts fixed soon!!!

I think you should make an offer! What a great little place. I love love love that they didn't paint the trim. I also think you could have a lot of fun fixing up that kitchen!

How charming! If I ever buy an actual house (instead of a townhouse or something in San Francisco....) it would definitely be a Craftman...those are my dream houses too!
Your blog is adorable, and I think I will enjoying following it.

Bonnie, I loved the tour. It must be torture for you to discover such a charming place and not be able to get the hubby on board. I can just see all the cozy little touches you would add. One day, your dreams WILL come true ...

Hugs .....

Cute, but it does need a touch of Bonnie to it! Looks like it's well kept and a lot of original charm! Maybe Josh will think it's a winner since there is very little grass!! :)
