When my husband and I were first house hunting, our dream was to find a 1920’s craftsman bungalow with a snug fireplace, original woodwork, and a roomy front porch. We ended up buying a sweet cape that we love, but I still find myself clicking on every bungalow I see when scrolling online real estate sites There’s just something about their cozy, suburban, pre-war charm that says “home” to me. This 1920 bungalow in Scituate, Rhode Island, was recently renovated from top to bottom, while retaining a few key elements of its original charm. Located a half-hour west of Providence, it’s sure to become another family home in no time. I hope it gets to make another hundred years of memories. Have a look and see if it looks like home to you!

Deceptively larger than it seems head-on, this bungalow is almost 1400 square-feet and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

My house is tucked back from the road and surrounded by woods (which also means surrounded by black flies and mosquitos), so I dream of a roomy, screened-in porch like this on warm summer nights! Add a comfy chair and my crochet basket and I’d probably never leave.

The hardwood floors keep an element of warmth in the renovated kitchen, and I love the green subway tiles for a “splash” of color.

The refinished hardwood floors continue in the living room, which has a fireplace and lots of natural sunlight.

More hardwoods and natural sunlight upstairs in the bedrooms. I love to see (what looks like) the original doors and hardware.

In an old house, a renovated bath is usually a must, and this one is bright, clean, and ready for new inhabitants. The mom in me clocks the tub in this bathroom – an essential for small kids.
