This adorable 2 BR 1 BA home is a leisurely stroll to Zeeland Street Market, Garden District Coffee, and City Park. Located in Poet’s Corner, a small eclectic neighborhood known for its friendly atmosphere and convenient location. Oozing with charm that you would expect from a bungalow built in 1938……. but nicely updated to have modern design features as well. In 2009 the Kitchen was renovated with slate flooring, concrete countertops, new cabinets, and updated appliances. Two walls were removed and antique heart pine beams were added to give the home a modern feel with an open floor plan. As you enter the home the first thing you notice are the beautiful wood floors throughout most of the home – no carpet. The woods floors were recently refinished. Both bedrooms are spacious and have large closets. A special feature is the large bonus room with a set of French doors to separate it from the dining space. This versatile space would make a perfect home office, library, exercise space, or playroom. The backyard is fully fenced and has brick patio with firepit – a great space to entertain friends and family. There is a detached garage (2 cars) with workshop space. NOTE – new architectural shingle roof just installed April, 2025.
