Noteworthy: Beautifully preserved 1929 Lyon Village Spanish Bungalow
A Lyon Village gem! Step into the charm and character of this beautifully preserved 1929 Spanish Bungalow, offering 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and just under 3,900 square feet of inviting living space.

The main level also includes two bedrooms—one ensuite—providing flexible living options, along with a stylish powder room.
Upstairs, the serene primary suite features a fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms—one with a delightful window seat—share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a whimsical hidden playroom adds character. A conveniently located laundry room completes the upper level.
Additional highlights include hardwood floors, new carpeting, a terracotta-tiled lower level with ample storage, a two-car garage, and a private, landscaped yard—just blocks to Clarendon’s shops, dining, Metro, and more.
