Tuesday I walked a hidden pocket of 50's transitional ranches and traditionals called Providence Heights. It's a 'perfectville' tract bordered by SE 47th & 50th and Stark/Burnside. The lawns are all perfectly manicured, the houses are mostly white clapboard and brick, and I swear this is the neighborhood Elizabeth Taylor would have moved into in the movie "Father of the Bride". It is brimming with mid-century modest perfectionism! Many of the houses are completely original, with vintage kitchens, knotty pine rumpus rooms with built in shuffleboards in the VCT flooring, period-perfect tiled baths. Ohh!
The tract is actually called Providence Heights, and the neighborhood would be classified as North Tabor. The houses run the gamut between $330K and $550K, with the majority being in that mid-$300 range.

I stumbled across this neighborhood yesterday and it felt like I was in a time warp! The first thing I noticed was actually the paperbark maple trees lining the streets
