In Lakeland, the bungalow-style is a popular home with some homes dating back almost a hundred years.
In its simplest form, a bungalow is a single-story dwelling with a “half-story” giving the appearance of a sloping roof with a smaller floorplan (though, some bungalows can be quite large). The homes are crafted with affordability in mind and don classic features such as dormer windows + verandas.
If you’re on the market for charming new digs, check out some of Swan City’s most eligible bungalows.
