It doesn't get more charming than this! A quintessential Garden District cottage, fully updated and turnkey. Fresh landscaping and an inviting front porch, perfect for enjoying hot coffee or cold iced tea, are only the beginning of what awaits you when you arrive. Once inside, you will notice the gorgeous wood floors, abundance of windows, and tall ceilings. The space feels open and bright and strikes the perfect balance between original charm and modern ease. The kitchen has been fully renovated and includes new cabinetry, carrara countertops, and stainless appliances. The front two bedrooms connect with the updated full bathroom, also renovated with classic floor tile, contemporary sink basin, and refinished porcelain tub. The large, back room lends itself to multiple uses: formal dining, additional bedroom, home office, or playroom. While the square footage on paper might seem tight, make no mistake, this cottage packs a punch and its abundance of windows truly give it an airy feel. You will also notice the oversized backyard, a rarity in the Garden District. The possibilities are endless for this green space and it already comes with a large shed that could be used for extra storage or as a workshop. A brand new HVAC system was installed in the last few years. Don't wait on this one! Schedule your showing today!
This beautiful garden district classic has been brought back to life with a comprehensive makeover. The timeless "old home" features such as oak strip floors, wide moldings, reclaimed beams, wood windows, stained doors, and a generous porch preserve the homes character. All the while, the modern "new home" touches include, all new stainless appliances, a new tankless hot water heater, new central HVAC, new kitchen cabinets with carrara marble counters tops, recessed LED lighting, new interior and exterior doors and hardware, and new sunroom windows. The wide open floor plan, coupled with the 9' ceilings throughout, gives the home a light airy feel. The back yard is large, newly sodded, fenced and includes a large storage building with lighting and power. This home is a must see and will move quickly! Owner/Agent
