4039 Redwing Avenue

Red brick, wood windows, glass doorknobs, and a porch swing: this Fondren bungalow has the kind of curb appeal that makes people slow down. Home to more than one architect over the years, 4039 Redwing is a house that's been thoughtfully loved and cleverly lived in, and it shows in every detail. With 1,759 square feet, two bedrooms, two baths, and a large upstairs bonus room, it's as flexible as it is charming. Start on the large screened front porch, where the swing is made for slow evenings with a view of the neighborhood. Inside, gorgeous hardwood floors and wood windows flood the home with natural light, and it's ready for you to settle in. The living room centers on a fireplace/radiator we believe is original to the home and opens to a generous formal dining room, creating an easy flow for hosting friends. The kitchen was made for entertaining: butcher block counters, an original cast iron farmhouse sink, open shelving, glass front cabinetry, a gas range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, bar seating, and plenty of storage. Just off the kitchen, the laundry room leads to a huge, recently rebuilt deck overlooking the backyard, perfect for dinner parties, morning coffee, or a quiet night outside. The detached garage is currently a workshop, ready for projects, bikes, or a studio. Both bedrooms are generously sized with cedar closets. The primary suite features a beautifully redone bath with upscale finishes, including a Toto toilet, an oversized walk-in shower with subway tile, and a large mirrored medicine cabinet. Plus a large closet with built-in Elfa-style storage and jewelry drawers and a second closet tucked behind the bedroom door.. The renovated guest bath also offers subway tile, built-in storage, and an enormous mirrored medicine cabinet. Upstairs, a large bonus room with its own skylight is ready to be a playroom, media room, office, or guest space. And yes, furniture fits: it goes up through the hatch in the front porch ceiling, and the big sofa that used to live up there proves it. The big-ticket items are handled too: a 3-year-old roof, a downstairs furnace installed just a year ago, all heating and cooling just cleaned and serviced, and fresh interior paint on all walls and trim, so more of your time goes to porch-swing evenings than to a to-do list. Fondren's restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife are all close by. Call today for your private showing.
