More Insights

Built in 1922 (104 years old).
Condition: This 1922 Craftsman bungalow boasts charming original details and well-maintained living areas with hardwood floors. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with modern cabinets and countertops, though the white appliances are standard. However, all three bathrooms are significantly outdated in style and features, with one explicitly described as '80s glam,' requiring immediate and substantial renovation to meet modern buyer expectations. While other areas show recent upgrades, the condition of the bathrooms prevents a higher score.

About this home

This 1922 Craftsman bungalow between Virgil Village and Sunset Junction boasts a unique warmth and a ton of character in an unbeatable location. Around every corner, you'll find charming details like coffered ceilings, stained glass, original built-ins, and an ornate mantel. The entire top floor is dedicated to the primary suite, which offers city views and plenty of natural light through the windows that peek over the lush, surrounding privacy hedge. The primary suite and the rest of the house has a deceptive amount of subtle closet and storage space. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, and the laundry/utility room makes for useful bonus space. Downstairs includes two bathrooms, one notably appointed with the kind of '80s glam you won't want to touch. A covered patio off the third bedroom gives you flexible indoor-outdoor opportunities. The home has seen a number of recent upgrades, a full list of which can be provided upon request. 943 Venango Ave is set in a coveted enclave where you can leave your car parked at home and still easily get to Be U Vietnamese, Seco, Vinovore, Doto, Budonoki, Real Charmer, Voodoo Vin, Courage Bagels, and a seemingly endless list of the city's favorite spots.
