The quintessential Bloomsbury/ Five Points 1928 bungalow...reimagined for 2026. Not too big, not too small...straight out of a nursery rhyme as Goldilocks might search for the perfect cottage. Every detail, feature, and attribute of the 1920s was thoughtfully preserved in a functional design that soothes an Architect's love for preservation. At the same time, the desire for modern conveniences is satisfied for your current modern lifestyle.. comfortable living is made easy! Only minutes from dining, shops, parks & greenways! While at home, you will live on the front porch, even during a rain storm, because the deep & wide bungalow porches were made for year-round enjoyment. Porch swing conveys. The front view of hydrangea and assorted perennials is perfect to start off and end your day.. A storybook gas lantern along the walk welcomes your guests at the same moment the Jasmine greets you. Then for more intimate gatherings, an enchanting backyard- fully fenced - with a new pavered walkway, Zoysia grass, fresh lush landscaping...all in bloom. New shed is a plus for outdoor tools and bikes. Truly the perfect size garden for dining and parties, yet easy to maintain all year. We know Goldilocks prefers little yardwork. This backyard is just right! The living space is open, bright, flowing and comfortable... the removal of walls simply elevated a 1920s cottage to today's standards. The fireplace was redefined with marble and repainted, but for now it is decorative only. Gatherings of friends and family is effortless with this floor plan...flowing from the front porch through the kitchen to the backyard patio.. The WOW FACTOR is the custom designed kitchen completed in 2025. Open and light-filled...walls were removed to allow for precision design, including: large center island with storage, deep SS sink, Moroccan-inspired ceramic tile backsplash, gorgeous quartz counters of polished Miraggio Gold, soft-close drawers, custom solid wood dovetail cabinets, brushed brass fixtures, coffee nook, open shelving...exquisite combination of elements, textures, neutral decor that is timeless. Modern day appliances include: Bosch paneled dishwasher, Bosch refrigerator with bottom freezer, GE Cafe Series range, Sharp microwave... all new 2025. High ceilings throughout. Large original windows, refurbished with new sashes to utilize the original weights, replaced original cords and brass locks & lifts. Windows are now fully operational. Fresh paint, refinished hardwoods, plus new hardwoods, all fixtures are new. Original trim and doors, thoughtfully restored. The smart layout offers space that will surprise you. Bedrooms are gracious and light-filled. The front bedroom with a separate updated bath makes a perfect guest suite or nanny's room. Two bedrooms are off the hallway with a remodeled bathroom. The sunroom in back is a perfect home office....or den, surrounded by walls of windows also lends itself to being a studio or a Writer's haven.. I feel another nursery rhyme creation..... Truly walkable lifestyle! Walk to Five Points, North Hills, the Village District, Fletcher Park, The Rialto, NoFo, Hayes Barton Cafe, downtown...to name just a few. Greenway trails are at your fingertips. A very modern lifestyle intertwined with a reimagined 1920s bungalow! Goldilocks approved. The Inside-the-Beltline living is easy at 2235 The Circle.
