New Hilltop Bungalow
Helen Bryant has done it
again. Situated on a commanding hill-
top in the 5600 block of 16th Street is
a bright, shiny-new, literally "drop-
dead gorgeous" bungalow. The lot is
almost an acre in size and allows for
future expansion of the house or for a
new garage with access to the alley in
the rear. Off-street parking is provided
for one vehicle at the top of the newly-
poured driveway.
Inside, the house is classified as "universal design," which basically
means this is a home for a lifetime, with wider doorways and other features that
make it convenient for persons of limited mobility. For others, there would be no
need to downsize later in life - the home is the perfect size for raising a family and
retiring.
Folks in the 'burbs would refer to this as a "patio home" or perhaps a
"retirement villa" and pay upwards of $200,000 for the "privilege" of calling
Claymont or Briarcliff home. But while they're there in their taupe-painted subdi-
vision, experiencing all the suburbs have to offer (Ha!), you can relax in your
newly-constructed, urban-chic bungalow, safe in the knowledge that you have
contributed to the re-gentrification of
a vibrant urban neighborhood! With a
cozy, screened-in porch right off the
kitchen, this three-bedroom, one-
!i bathroom craftsman home is wonder-
;1 ful for either the growing family or
"empty nesters" returning to the old
neighborhood to make new friends.
New central air and heating make
this home comfortable year-round.
Wall-to-wall carpet helps insulate both
I sound and warmth throughout the
home. The kitchen and huge master
bath feature, ceramic tile floors that accentuate the craftsman motif of the home.
The master bedroom is spacious and adjoins the master bath. Closet space is at
a premium, featuring huge walk-in closets in each bedroom. Although there is no
basement in the home, there is still
space enough to get lost in! Fully out-
fitted with specialty access items and
hardware, the home is also fully ADA-
compliant: wider doors with "zero-
1 step" thresholds, lower counter-
spaces and pull-down shelves in the
! higher cabinets make living easier.
For a private showing of the
lifetime home, call Helen Bryant Real
Estate at 816-523-1990 or stop by
any Saturday when it is open from 1 to
4 p.m.
