Set one off the corner of 17th and Oxford, 705 E 17th enjoys a fantastic location down the street from Blue Ribbon, TEA-rated "A" Field Elementary on a curbed and guttered street. 
Built by local builder The Modern Bungalow Co, this clean design is effortlessly sleek and simple. The 2/2 window pattern, high pitched gable, cedar columns, black steel roof & slate color schematic work together to define this home as a stylish city-abode with many classic farmhouse elements. 
Enter into a classic center hall design reminiscent of the turn of the century homes that still characterize this wonderful neighborhood. Panel molding down the foyer and up the stairs is not only beautiful, but a smart choice for a family home where little fingers graze the walls. 
The front room of the house serves as the study typically (closet to the far left), but could also be a bedroom. 
The powder bath features a white oak cabinet, quartz, wall-mounted faucet and a beautiful vessel sink. 
The dining room features a modern Visual Comfort light fixture and a sleek blackened teal color palette paired with decorative white oak hand-built beams. 
This adorable wine nook (wine refrigerator to come) enjoys a high contrast design with white cabinets and tile against the blackened teal wall paint. 
This stunning kitchen readily conjures up an old farmhouse feeling while simultaneously providing only the best pro kitchen offerings. The built-in 42" GE Monogram fridge will easily house your farmer's market finds. Paired with the 48" GE Monogram range, the chef in your house will be set. 
The island is a modern quartz with a grey-blue slight veining. Few Heights homes offer a design where one can look out the window into the backyard while doing the dishes, but this one does. 
All of the cabinetry is inset, flush-mount and site built by the same carpenters The Modern Bungalow has used for well over a decade. Floating white oak shelves flank the triple window over the sink, while a clean white herringbone subway subtly dresses up the space. 
The family room is just off of the kitchen and leads way to a fireplace with a white oak mantle. The cabinetry offers great storage, while the double windows above add to the brightness of the space. 
The family room in this plan is enormous and leads directly to the mudroom and then the garage through the doorway pictured. 
Two sets of 4' double doors lead to the outdoor space and yard. This photo also shows off how beautifully the reclaimed oak floors came out during their refinishing. What's old is new again and the quality of the old, seasoned wood is unparalleled. 
The mudroom is a useful space to dump the backpacks and hang the raincoats when entering the home. At least, it seems better than the dining room table!
Moving upstairs, the center foyer is a wide space accented by a useful set of cabinets for storage. 
A happy, well-appointed laundry room complete with a window, an inspired floor tile, a large farm sink, a hanging space and storage. 
A secondary bedroom. 
Another secondary bedroom.
The ensuite bathroom features timeless materials and colors. Black floor tile is laid in a Chevron pattern, while the white subway in the shower is stacked. 
The third of the upper secondary bedrooms. 
This is the shared supper bathroom, complete with dual vanities, a shared drawer storage system and a hexagonal tile with a rug pattern on the flooring. 
The primary bedroom offers a choice of 2 common sense bed walls, a cathedral ceiling and a white oak decorative beam. 
The master bathroom is stunningly appointed with white oak cabinets and mirror frames and a sleek long subway tile set in a herringbone on the walls for a dramatic visual. 
The primary bathroom also features an extra large shower. 
Also in the primary bath, the stand alone tub and white oak storage system built by the carpenters. 
The yard on this home is completely different than your typical 5000 sq ft lot with a rear garage = it's 50' wide with plenty of space for a pool in one area and whatever else you want in another area.705 E. 17th St. is a new construction home by Modern Bungalow Co. featuring 4/5 bedrooms & 4 full baths, formal dining room, study/flex 5th bedroom downstairs, large island kitchen open to family room, covered front and back porches, large primary bedroom with huge bath, lots of high-end fixtures throughout!
