About 1551 N 50th St

Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street this 4 bd 2ba 1917 bungalow tells the story of a century-long legacy. Owned by the same family for three generations, it is a rare gem that seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful, modern updates. From the curb, the home's classic Craftsman-style remains proudly intact. Inside, you're greeted by rich, restored hardwood floors and original woodwork, preserved to honor the home's heritage. Leaded glass windows evoke its early 20th-century roots. The kitchen has been transformed into a sleek, contemporary space with high-end finishes: custom white oak cabinetry that nods to the home's past. Upstairs, the bedrooms retain their vintage charm with dormers. Walk-able to O'Briens pub! Opportunity to finish basement. More than a home, make it yours!
