Hello BBBB Friends:
Today, I am featuring six new amazing bungalows. They all have the same architectural style but are still uniquely distinct. Remember to explore price reductions, new contracts, and final sales for homes that are Still on My List. Scroll down to see all of these changes.
QUEEN ANN RULES!
While the Queen Anne bungalow is less prevalent in the Heights than its cousin, the Craftsman bungalow, over half of this week’s new listings feature the Queen Anne style. Known for its ornate details, Queen Anne bungalows often showcase asymmetrical facades, steeply pitched roofs, and decorative elements like spindlework, patterned shingles, or wrap-around porches. Some emphasize traditional Victorian embellishments, while others offer more modest interpretations, blending historic charm with practical layouts. Despite their variations, these homes share an inviting feel, perfect for homeowners seeking architectural character and cozy living spaces.
Have a great week, and,
Let’s look at houses or talk about selling yours!
