Hello BBBB Friends:
This week is all about bungalows—from cozy classics around 1,500 square feet to a full-on bungalow on steroids pushing 4,000. I’m always entranced by the variations: clipped gables, porch shapes, unexpected expansions, and the details that hint at a home’s past. It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole when you’re chasing architectural threads—and frankly, I’m not trying that hard to climb out.
Keep scrolling ⬇️ to see the latest price reductions, new contracts, and final sales from properties that are Still on My List—there are some big changes this week. 🏡💸
📊 Curious about how the Heights market is shaping up in 2025?
Inventory is up, sales are holding steady, and pricing has proven surprisingly resilient.

The original 1925 structure featured triple-clipped gables—distinctive enough on their own. But with the renovation, two more clipped gables were added, giving the façade a layered, petal-like effect you won’t forget. The full-width porch with corner brick pillars adds presence, but this isn’t your typical Craftsman. Whatever it is, it’s not shy about it—and the result is both bold and beautifully balanced.
