A 1954 build in the central Highland Park West neighborhood, this 2,085-square-foot home retains quite a few features of its original vintage. The most obvious of these is midcentury habit of bringing brick and stone walls indoors; this one even has brick-surround kitchen cabinets with inset oven, as well as a main living area has vaulted ceilings and central column with pass-through fireplace.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house also has a fairly ample front porch as well as a generous patio and entertaining area in back, as well as wood floors in main areas, and—our favorite—colorful bathroom elements, including a pink sink, toilet, and shower in one of them.
