Once Upon a Bungalow in Del Ray... Some homes just have THAT feelingand this one? Its got it in spades. Tucked into one of the most charming streets of Del Ray, this classic 1925 bungalow was fully renovated and expanded in 2018, and the result is a perfect blend of old soul and modern style. With over 2,000 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms, theres plenty of room to spread outbut its the thoughtful details that really shine. The main level has an open floor plan that still feels cozy thanks to the warm hardwood floors, a fireplace in the living room, and a sweet library nook perfect for curling up with your favorite read. The kitchen? Massive island, loads of seating, and the kind of setup that makes guests think you totally have your life together. Bonus: theres a bedroom and full bath on the main level, perfect for guests, WFH life, or anyone whod rather skip the stairs. Upstairs, the primary suite is the kind of retreat you'll never want to leave: huge walk-in closet with custom built-ins (built-ins in the bedroom too), and a spa-like bathroom with a double vanity and room to breathe. The second bedroom connects to a Jack-and-Jill bath and has its own walk-in closet with custom built-ins (no fighting over storage here), and the third bedroom is bright, sunny, and full of charm. The wide upstairs hallway makes everything feel open and airy, and yes, theres a dedicated laundry room, because nobody likes carrying baskets up and down stairs. Outside is a large fully fenced yard, a deck, and a patio ready for weekend hangouts, dog zoomies, or a quiet morning coffee. Speaking of coffee... we haven't even highlighted just how amazing the location is yet! This house is just two and a half blocks from the heart of Del Ray, and you'll be taking full advantage of how close you are to everything. Imagine walking over to St Elmo's for coffee on a Saturday morning, then heading over to the Farmers Market for a head start on groceries for the week. As you're shopping you run into a few neighbors or friends and have a chat to catch up (because this really is that kind of neighborhood where you actually know your neighbors). After your market bag is full, you stop for something sweet at Just Fine Donuts on the way home. Basically, this is one of those rare homes that checks all the boxesand then adds a few more you didnt know you needed. Ready to write your next chapter in Del Ray? Say YES to this address!
