OUR CENTENNIAL BUNGALOW

began when my wife, Aleyna, was a child. Her family of seven always bought large old houses, which inevitably required considerable repair. She grew up in established neighborhoods with many Craftsman-period homes. But Aleyna’s favorite was her grandmother’s Craftsman Bungalow; it boasted a wraparound porch with wicker rocking chairs, and was surrounded by lovely, old-fashioned perennial gardens: “Grandma’s house was special. I didn’t want to leave. I used to tell her, ‘when I grow up, I’ll want a house just like yours’.”
