This fully-renovated 1950s era cottage simply could not be more adorable. The fresh blue and white exterior accentuates the new landscaping and the mature trees. You'll enter into a foyer with a reclaimed pine wood ceiling and a modern-retro light fixture, and go up 3 reclaimed-wood stairs to the main living area of the home. The home has been completely updated and renovated with new luxury vinyl-plank flooring and fresh paint throughout, in addition to new plumbing and light fixtures. The kitchen features brand new stainless appliances (including a gas stove), and retains a few of the original nostalgic features of the era such as scalloped accented trim above the sink and the bead beard ceiling. The living room also retains some of its original charm with the wall of built-in shelving and the window seat overlooking the front yard. The primary bedroom is spacious and includes a barn-door entry to the fully updated primary bath. Now for the lagniappe....just outside the back door, just off the kitchen, is a 12 x 28 wood deck that will make your house the go-to place for outdoor bar-b-ques and entertaining. Other desirable features include a 10 x 16 shop, a metal roof, a 2-car carport, and a large and beautiful back yard. The large utility room, located just off the kitchen, is large enough to double as a walk-in pantry. Finally, a permanently installed sump pump will ensure there will be no standing water under the home. Located in flood zone X, where flood insurance is NOT REQUIRED.
