Roomy New Center home has cozy living room, awkward kitchen

We’re starting to see a few areas emerge as neighborhoods to really watch this year. While listings and sales are getting a little wild over in Islandview, we’re also seeing some big listings over in New Center on Virginia Park. This new listing has some bizarre features, but all around looks like an inviting, warm home. At 3,500 square feet, it’s listing for $338,000.

We’re loving the rich wood beams, big bay window, and fireplace in the living room. The downstairs rooms connect with either big archways or pocket doors.

We see a lot of small, awkward kitchens, but this one looks like you’d have to have some systems in place to make it functional. Oh, and the refrigerator is in the butler’s pantry.

The house has four bedrooms, two and a half baths, built ins, a big front porch, and an unusual staircase. It’s located between Woodward and the Lodge, a few blocks up from the Fisher Building.
