About this home

Live in Mid City, enjoy all the charm of the Garden District in this totally renovated 3 BR cottage. This home is zoned C-1 - could also be used as light commercial - a shop, retail, or office! Was a VERY BUSY short term rental - ask for more info! The home features beautiful, original restored hardwood flooring and generous room sizes. The kitchen is remodelled with custom cabinetry, wood butcher block countertops, stainless gas range/oven and refrigerator, and a warm, stained bead board planked ceiling. The character continues, including the fireplace and built-ins of the dining area, open to the living room, lots of light and wonderful windows. Highly efficient mini-split HVAC units, plus central gas heat as an option. All three bedrooms are spacious, and the renovated bathroom boasts a luxurious walk-in shower, and beautiful tilework. The enclosed porch, used as a gameroom, is not included in the living area, but could easily be a spot to add a 2nd bathroom and to heat and cool, more possibilities! The rear screened porch is a great place to relax, overlooking a serene yard, a separate storage building, and off-street private parking. Don't miss this unique opportunity! Walk to fabulous mid-city shops, restaurants, City Park dog park, tennis courts, playground, golf course, B. R. Art Gallery, LSU lakes and more!
