Some mornings start with coffee on the front porch. Some evenings end with a walk to First Friday on Santa Fe. This home gives you both. You'll notice it from the sidewalk: fresh gray siding with sharp dark trim, a white-railed covered porch, and a shade tree in a front yard that's all gravel and mulch, so your weekends stay yours instead of the lawnmower's. Step inside and the whole main level opens up. Warm wood-look floors carry you from the living room straight into the kitchen, where white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances look as good as they work. The breakfast bar is where everyone ends up, whether it's a quick bite before work or friends lingering after dinner. Just down the hall, a main-level bedroom and 3/4 bath give you options: a guest room for visitors, a quiet office, or a bedroom with no stairs to climb. Upstairs, two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and the laundry all sit on the same floor, so laundry day never means hauling baskets up and down. Off-street parking out back keeps it simple when you come home. Then step outside and the city is yours. The Santa Fe Arts District is a short walk away, and on the first Friday of each month its galleries and studios open their doors for the art walk. Downtown is walkable too, and so are the restaurants and coffee shops you'll probably start calling "my place." Parks are a few blocks away, and so is the 10th & Osage light rail station, an easy ride when you'd rather skip the car. When you do drive, the freeway is just minutes from the front door, so the rest of the metro is never far. But the part you'll remember is the porch. It's where Saturday starts slow and where the day settles down at night. Fresh inside, full of life outside. Come see it, and bring your coffee mug. Schedule your private showing now!
