There’s just something about a classic Plaza Midwood bungalow — and this one has it from the moment you pull up.

White cottage house with wooden door, brick steps, and porch among trees; house number 1518 visible in sunny yard. — 1518 Pecan Ave

Perched along Pecan Avenue, this beautifully refreshed 1930s home combines the character everyone loves about the neighborhood with an incredibly walkable location just steps from Central Avenue and some of Plaza Midwood’s favorite restaurants, shops and local hangouts. And that curb appeal? It’s pretty hard to resist.

The Front Porch You’ve Been Dreaming About

You can’t talk about a Plaza Midwood bungalow without talking about the front porch.

This one has that quintessential rocking-chair front porch that practically begs for a couple of ferns, a cup of coffee and a slow Saturday morning watching the neighborhood go by.

Classic Character, Freshened Up for Today

Step inside and you’ll find the warmth and character of an older home, but with a fresh new feel.

The hardwood floors have been newly refinished, the interior has been freshly painted, and new lighting and other updates give the home a brighter, more polished look while still letting its original bungalow personality shine through.

Bright dining room with wood table, bench and chairs on woven rug, black chandelier, white shutters, and adjacent kitchen nook.

Bright modern kitchen with gray cabinets, stainless stove, white counters, and open view to a sunny dining room and living area.

The open, inviting layout also includes one of my favorite features — an amazing mudroom/drop zone that adds the kind of everyday functionality you don’t always find in a 1930s home.

A Primary Suite With Its Own Space

The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, but the upstairs primary suite is what makes the floor plan especially interesting.

Tucked away from the rest of the home, it feels like its own private retreat and provides a wonderful sense of separation from the main living spaces and secondary bedrooms.

And Then There’s the Garage…

This may be one of the best surprises of the property.

The detached garage includes additional living/flex space AND a half bath, opening up so many possibilities.

The Plaza Midwood Charm — With an Added Bonus

Here’s another detail that makes this property especially interesting.

You get the look and feel of the beautiful historic bungalow streets that make this pocket of Plaza Midwood so special, but the property itself is excluded from the Historic District.

For a buyer who loves the architecture, character and established feel of this part of the neighborhood but wants more flexibility with their property, that can be a pretty compelling combination.

Location, Location… Pecan Avenue

And then, of course, there’s the location.

You’re just steps from Central Avenue and right in the middle of the walkable Plaza Midwood lifestyle. Dinner, coffee, drinks, shopping and neighborhood favorites are all right outside your door.

It’s one of those locations where you can park the car on Friday and barely need it again until Monday.
