“With Garfield being so eclectic in nature and colorful and diverse, the community was okay with something modern,” Bass added, noting the extensive public engagement that took place before design plans were submitted to the city. “They also wanted us to keep the bungalow intact and give it a new presence, anchoring the project. This was important to them, and so it was important to us.”

Whether or not you are the new buyer(s) of this magical 1950's red-brick ranch, you will leave with the understanding of what a well thought-out renovation can do for a property.
In her first life, 1539 W Flower Circle South, may have served a busy family. With 3 bedrooms and generous living spaces, she would have made any growing family's life a pleasure. But 70 years later stands a beautifully updated, romantic two-bedroom two-bath home with a luxurious garage conversion that will leave any guest feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. ''We wanted a 3 bedroom home'' recalls Monica, the current homeowner, ''a space for us, for guests and for a working office space. The garage conversion allowed us to expand the main house's kitchen, master bath and master closet, all while maintaining a lovely space for weekend family and friends." That idea paid off in a big way.
The master now features a generous bath with double vanity, water closet and glassed-in shower plus a seriously enviable walk-in closet. New french doors from the master now lead to one of the patios in the backyard. But that wasn't all..
I see a lot of references to "Chefs kitchen" in my line of work. It always sparks a feeling in me like watching a Julia Childs rerun (remember Julia?) with chipped mixing bowls and worn cookie sheets darkened by decades of delectable cookies and pastries. A true chefs kitchen should inspire one to create. To don an apron, bring together beautiful ingredients for an evening meal, turn on the radio, pour some wine and lose yourself in the process. This space should be timeless, comfortable, energizing and - above all else - functional. That, my friends, is here.
Opening to an outdoor entertaining space that features multiple gathering areas for any time of the year. Imagine dining under the twinkling lights of the pergola or warming yourself in front of the corten steel fire pit, there is a grilling station and seating that looks over a grassy (artificial now, but could easily be live) lawn leading to a fully matured sweet orange tree on one side of the property and the guesthouse on the other.
The backyard is divided by a weathered split rail fence that allows guests their own access to the property without risking escape for any of the furry housemates. This space is something else. An area for seating and coffee opens with French doors to a sun-filled patio. There is also a spacious bedroom and ¾ bath.
In addition to the renovated spaces, there are rooms that were already too perfect to change. The main living room is sized perfectly for a group to watch the game, but intimate enough for a quiet evening binge watching the new season of your favorite show. Custom shelving here allows the room to feature art and collections that make you, well.. you, without letting the dreaded TV command the entire room. The same has been said for the dining room. It's spacious and well appointed with generous corner steel-framed windows that bathe the room in morning light.
This, as I'm sure you have come to understand, is a space that I'm clearly fond of. I hope you'll visit and agree!
