Today, we're spending one more day on West McGee Street and sharing this little diamond in the rough. The above bungalow was built in 1917, five years earlier than yesterday's home. We love the color and the December greenery and even the scruffy yard. It looks as if we have stepped back in time in this historic district home. The College Hill neighborhood became a historic district in 1980. This is three bedrooms of sheer coziness will turn 100 in a few years. Hopefully, it will get a coat of fresh trim paint and a little sprucing up to celebrate its centennial. The exterior pillars, made of locally quarried rock, are a fabulous detail. The front yard steps are a reminder that Greensboro is not completely flat and College Hill comes by its name honestly. The home is located by two colleges and up on a hill! Can't you imagine sharing a mug of hot chocolate or a cup of coffee on that front porch?.........
I love Arts an Crafts homes. If no "modernization" has occurred my bet is the interior has some wood paneling, built in bookcases, and probably a fabulous fireplace.

When I look at homes I picture how they will look at Christmas,no matter the actual time of year.
This one is a charmer.
