Property Description

Welcome to this 2-bedroom, 1-bath Garden District cottage, where high ceilings and even higher charm levels come standard. Perched proudly on a double lot, this updated gem offers the rare combination of historic character and modern convenience. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by sunlight, personality, and the unmistakable feeling that this home has seen some things… and handled them gracefully. The living spaces flow with ease, the bedrooms are cozy without being cramped, and the bathroom has been refreshed so you can enjoy modern comfort without sacrificing the cottage vibe. The main bedroom has amazing windows creating a bright, beautiful retreat with a walk-in closet. The kitchen is updated and ready for everything from gourmet experiments to late-night cereal. The screened porch offers added space for relaxing or entertaining with a view of the outdoors without the pesky mosquitos. Outside, the double lot features a fantastic deck and gives you room to garden, entertain, or possibly add a guest house (with proper permitting). And with downtown just moments away, you’ll enjoy quick access to restaurants, shops, and all the local happenings - perfect for anyone who wants to be close to the action but still retreat to a quiet, tree-lined street at the end of the day. Flood zone X (the good one) for added peace of mind. If you’re looking for a home with character, charm, and just enough quirk to keep things interesting, this Garden District cottage is ready to welcome you.
