Built in 1923, this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home is listed for sale at $749,900.

The classic bungalow is located in the famed Laurelhurst neighborhood, a planned subdivision dating back to 1909 when the layout and look were guided by the national City Beautiful movement that encouraged homes to be centered around a public park.

Often these homes had large, gracious porches open to the sidewalks and tree-lined streets.

This home is no exception.

The light blue and white living area are not the traditional earthy tones that you see in craftsman homes. And certainly, the painted brick and painted woodwork will earn the ire of true craftsman enthusiasts.

The kitchen is very light and bright as well. It’s hard to tell if the cabinetry is original, but the windows and doors appear to be.
