Welcome to 705 Maximilian — a cheerful yellow Craftsman cottage perched on a sunny corner lot in historic Beauregard Town. This 1,488 sq ft charmer feels like it’s been saving the best seat on the porch just for you. Step onto the unique front deck — it rises about 5 feet above the sidewalk, giving you front-yard views with surprising privacy. Classic Bahama shutters frame the scene while azaleas put on their spring show. (And yes, the whole property sits a solid 14 feet above the top of the Mississippi River levee on reassuring high ground. ) Inside, warm hardwood floors and rich natural wood trim — complete with elegant crown moulding — set a cozy, timeless tone. A graceful arched doorway beautifully separates the living room from the dining area. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous single-bowl sink, two pantries, handy pot drawers, and that fancy pot-filler faucet that makes you feel like a proper chef. The bath received the same loving refresh with a sleek frameless glass shower and a large linen closet that actually has room for all your towels. Central air and heat keep things comfortable year-round, and the security system (with doorbell cameras) adds peace of mind. And yes — there’s a mysterious floor hatch where the old furnace once lived. Think of it as your very own secret trapdoor to nowhere… or at least the crawlspace. Perfect for dramatic exits that only go as far as the underside of the house. Comes with an assumable termite contract that predates 2008 and still includes a real, honest-to-goodness warranty, the ballance of one year of pre-paid central air and heating maintenance (add that to the contract pro favor).
