At 1,300 square feet, this modern little home has big benefits. Our favorite facet? La Cantina doors allow for the couple to crawl out of bed and straight onto their backyard in the morning.

Boho doesn’t quite do justice in defining this hipster home in College East. With aesthetics beckoning back to the ’60s and ’70s, nearly every piece in the home has a story to it. And the backyard is a bit of kid’s heaven, too, outfitted with a teepee and skateboard ramp.

This Normal Heights home is full of life—plant life mostly. Then again, given the owner is a floral designer, it’s no surprise greenery reigns supreme.
