BRAND NEW ROOF! Everything you want in a garden district home! Charm...front porch for neighborly living...and lots of character. Gleaming wood floors, windows everywhere, portico-style carport, vintage kitchen, spacious living room with 3 walls of windows, and 4 fireplaces bringing ambience to each room. Shotgun hallway is a room in itself with 6 windows providing natural light. Formal dining is graced with fireplace and vintage teardrop crystal chandelier. Two large bedrooms share the bath that has been updated with ceramic floors and tub surround. Overlooking the arbored boulevard, relax on the spacious porch with your morning coffee or evening refreshment. Nice backyard is fenced and backs up to alley. Garden district charm blends peace of the past and a desire for personality. Even portraits of the original builders of the home remain as a testament to the past.
