This welcoming family neighborhood is also just a few blocks from the bustling 9th Street & Broad Street restaurant and shopping districts - your morning coffee, grocery shopping and dinner out are all within 1 mile.
We love that we can enjoy the peace and quiet on our street, and within a 15 minute walk be in the middle of everything.

This classic bungalow has been updated with modern systems while holding on to the retro features unique to its period. Thoughtfully decorated in an eclectic aesthetic, including artwork we’ve collected in our travels, the comfy appointments and warm colors make the home feel cozy.
Both bedrooms enjoy east facing windows to capture the rising sun. The larger bedroom includes a peaceful remote workspace. South facing windows bring all-day natural light into the living room and one bedroom. Built in bookcases and closets hold a variety of treasures, and also plenty of room for your own clothing and items.
Don’t let the retro fridge fool you - this stocked kitchen is prepared for anything you want to make, with a full gas range & oven, tea kettle, coffee maker and microwave. Plus, of course, the basic amenities for chopping, mixing and storing your meal. And plenty of wine glasses (Priorities!) The space has a separate dining room, where you and your group can enjoy relaxing meals. It can also serve as a remote workspace.
Relax in the comfy living room, where you can stream all your favorites on the Smart TV, play a board game or just cozy up with a good book! Feel free to browse our library of both books and games.
A washer & dryer are also available for your convenience.
We are Delighted Properties, because that is how we want you to feel when you walk in the door.
