1535 W Magnolia Ave

Not your average bungalow. And that's kind of the point. Tucked into Woodlawn Terrace, this wonderfully unconventional home is a little artsy, a little eccentric, and full of thoughtful details that make it entirely its own. Exposed shiplap ceilings, a handsome fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases, and an oversized dining room with a charming corner built-in set the tone. The kitchen brings its own personality with a mix of granite and custom concrete countertops, open shelving, an exposed chimney, and storage for days. A flexible floor plan offers plenty of opportunities to work from home, including a clever office tucked into a converted breakfast nook. The primary bedroom has multiple closets, a secret(ish) bookshelf door, and access to a red-light sauna and bonus space that could be just about anything: an art studio, home gym, hobby room, or a very ambitious plant collection. And yes, that bonus space has a living roof. Outside, the creativity continues with a beautifully xeriscaped front yard, a generous front porch with trellis and gabion-style detailing, a screened-in back patio, and a spacious fire pit area surrounded by mature greenery. A large enclosed workshop and storage shed rounds things out. Double-pane windows and an impressive amount of storage add practicality to all that personality. Just minutes from Woodlawn Lake Park, neighborhood coffee spots, and the charm of nearby Monticello Park, this is a house for someone who appreciates a little originality.
