2501 NW 24th Street

Like the best jazz records of its era, this 1937 original has only gotten better with age. Originally built by J.D. Bonenberger of The Bonenberger Company, this two-story Streamline Moderne gem is one of those rare finds that stops you mid-scroll. The blonde brick facade, horizontal band detailing, porthole window on the front door, and sweeping rounded porch are pure Art Deco poetry, and the curved second-story balcony with its clean black metal railing mirrors that arc perfectly, like the architecture is in conversation with itself. In 2016, the home was fully updated across every facet, meaning you get all the soul of a 1937 original with none of the headaches. Inside, refinished hardwood floors and a white brick fireplace with wood mantel set a warm tone from the moment you walk in. A cased opening with a coffered header connects the living and dining rooms, framing the space beyond like a painting. Natural light pours in generously throughout. The kitchen balances vintage soul with fresh design: soft celadon shaker cabinets, crisp white appliances, a luminous handmade-style tile backsplash, and an exposed brick column that keeps things from feeling too precious. The first-floor bathroom earns its own headline: a clawfoot tub against a two-tone subway tile surround, brass fixtures, intricate mosaic floors, and a blush double vanity that feels both designed and deeply personal. Both bedrooms are thoughtfully done. The first floor features corner windows and recessed lighting, while the upstairs bedroom offers casement windows and a stairway to the rooftop patio, approximately 900 square feet of open-air living space. Morning coffee, evening cocktails, dinner under the stars — up here, the possibilities are as open as the sky. Out back, a fully outfitted studio shed — teal painted, pine-wrapped, climate controlled — is ready to become whatever you need it to be.
