This thoughtful architectural reimagination of a classic 1927 Hyde Park bungalow will wow buyers with its seamless integration into the historic neighborhood outside, and its jaw-dropping light filled modern spaces inside. The current owners loved the house and the location so much so that in 2017, when they had outgrown the original 1000 +/- square feet, they decided to stay put in the neighborhood they had grown to love, and double the square footage with the help of local residential design firm, Design Hound. The home’s interior was designed to bring the light and the green of Hyde Park’s urban forest inside. The double height in the living room is accented with skylights, dormers and carefully placed mirrors that capture the sunlight and distribute it flawlessly throughout the rooms. A pop-out structure that serves as the dining room, cantilevers over the side yard and is accented on the exterior by smooth-finish stucco, a smart juxtaposition against the period-style wood siding. On the ground floor, is a secluded primary suite accessed by a pocket door, and highlighted with a light and bright double-height vestibule leading into the bathroom and small library area. Also on the ground floor, a small 4th bedroom, a dedicated utility room, closet storage, and a sunny powder room. Upstairs, more natural light from the deliberate window design and 2 ample-sized guest bedrooms with a large shared bath. Outdoors, the refurbished potting shed is a fantastic work-from-home opportunity complete with heating, cooling, and hard-wired high-speed internet. Cedar decks and custom outdoor planting boxes finish out this designer backyard, ideal for entertaining. Alley access. Walkable to Hyde Park hot spots including Shipe Park and Pool, First Light Books, Mongers, and more. Zoned for much loved Lee Elementary School.
