As I rounded the corner and turned onto my street on that evening in 2003, I saw flames. Was it my house on fire? No, the fire equipment was set up in front of my neighbors’ home at 1607 Vance Avenue. The owners immediately set about the process of repairing their home.
Lovingly refurbished by professional contractors personally supervised by the owners, the home was ready for move-in in 2004 with new plaster (not drywall) and solid oak floors throughout, all new electric, plumbing and HVAC systems, new roof with solid wood (not plywood) decking; new baths and kitchen with new appliances. All the wood windows in the house open and storm windows have been installed. There is also an extensive alarm and heat/smoke detection system. All construction work conformed to 2003 building codes and included the appropriate wall and ceiling insulation, not found in the original home built in 1917.
The thoroughness of the work challenges other Midtown rehabs. This bungalow retains all its original charm: the wide front porch with swing, the spacious public rooms, and the upstairs suite. The owners have added a 2 car carport and patio and the yard is fenced and entered by electric gate.
Located in the sought-after Central Gardens Historic District, and in the Idlewild Elementary School District this bungalow is a must see for discerning home buyers.
