Retreat to this 2 bedroom bungalow with modern amenities & century old charm, located in a semi-secluded neighborhood with easy driving access to CWS, zoo, downtown Omaha, Bellevue & Offutt. Walk 2 blks to Fontenelle Forest. The sunroom has a fold down sofa, desk, & original French doors for an additional living/working/sleeping area. Relax on the back deck & admire the sunset, hang out inside & prepare a meal in the fantastic kitchen, or chill on the leather couch with the 55” smart TV w cable.

The space
Beautiful 1914 bungalow filled with original woodwork and details, with many modern updates. 2 Bedrooms (1 queen bed, 2 twin beds) and 1 full bathroom with deep tub and modern showerhead. Besides the leather couch and vintage velvet chairs in the living room, there are additional seating options in the sunroom (the fold down sofa can sleep 1 person short term), and with closing original beveled glass & wood French doors for semi-privacy—it’s also great for an office work area at the desk or a playroom for the kids. The dining room has a table can seat 6 and butcher block bar/workspace with 3 stools. Hang out outside on the relaxing covered front porch or have a great sunset view from the back deck. Fabulous remodeled kitchen with powerful gas stove (we're still putting some finishing touches on in the pantry, but the space is fully functional). Many vintage decorative touches, including seed bags (1957 era) from my grandparent’s farm 🧡 High efficiency HVAC and water heater, new in 2017. With just over 1000 sq ft interior space all on one level (there are several steps to enter/exit property), it's a perfect solo/couples retreat, co-workers lodging, or home base for a family of up to five. The Local Vibe online publication has named this 1 of the 6 coolest Airbnb’s in Omaha!

The living room has cable including HBO (use voice command to change the channel) and a 55” smart TV. You are welcome to stream or connect to any services you have accounts for also.

There is not a clothes washer or dryer in the house. There is a laundromat 1 mile away & there is a laundry service in Bellevue that will pick up & drop off your laundry to the house.

NO PARTIES, PETS, OR SMOKING/VAPING INSIDE ALLOWED.

Where you’ll be

Bellevue, Nebraska, United States

This house is in a fabulous neighborhood-it's on a quiet side street near the forest, so it feels secluded, yet is minutes away from Hwy 75 and I-80, and it is easy to get around by car. It is just south of South Omaha and on the northern edge of Bellevue-less than 4 miles north of Old Towne. The area is teeming with wildlife-birds singing all the time and you never know when some deer or turkeys will stroll through. It's nice to walk/drive through the neighborhood and see the eclectic styles of houses and yards/gardens—you may catch a glimpse of some backyard chickens or other animals on acreages. It's a relatively quiet (except for the birds singing and trains) family filled neighborhood, so if you're wanting to be loud or party, this is not a good option for you. It gets pretty dark along the street after the sun goes down (there's front porch and back deck lights on the house). It's easy to unwind and relax here, listen to the birds, smell the flowers, read or write. Walk to Fontenelle Forest, go down the hill to a Scooters coffee drive-through, drive an easy 10 minutes up 13th street to the zoo, 10 minutes to Offutt or Old Town Bellevue, 15 minutes to Old Market/downtown Omaha/CHI Health Event Center/Schwab Ballpark/UN Med Center or Council Bluffs. Stella's Burgers is 5 minutes away, as is a Bakers grocery store. ~5 minutes to banks, chain/big box stores/restaurants/Starbucks on Cornhusker. 5-10 minutes to South Omaha, El Museo Latino, and my favorite taco truck with on-site made tortillas at S 13th St, just south of Pierce St and the Old market.
