Property Description

Charming 1940s cottage on an oversized 50x162 lot, half a block off Veterans and it's shopping corridor with easy access to I-10. This one has the vintage details that just don't get built anymore. Step through the picket fence and covered walkway to a classic front porch, then into the main living space where vaulted ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a wood burning fireplace with an antique mantle set the tone. Rich wood paneling and wainscoting run throughout, with a wide arched opening framed by a set of gorgeous old wood doors leading into the dining room, a charming original touch. The two bedrooms are pleasantly separated rather than sharing a hallway, giving each its own sense of privacy. Storage is everywhere in this cozy house with a walk-in cedar closet off the front bedroom, built-in carpentry storage in the hallway leading to the back bedroom, and even more space above. The kitchen has vaulted ceilings with exposed rafters for a cozy, cabin-like feel, and opens to a bright enclosed sunporch with lattice windows, flexible space suited to a home office, hobby room, or reading nook. Down the hall, one bath has been updated with subway tile and tub, while the second retains its retro charm with a stained glass window and pedestal sink, original details worth preserving. Outside, the fenced backyard includes a storage shed for extra space, and a fully renovated separate side building (328 sq ft, updated electrical panel), best suited for flex use like storage, a gym, or studio, not living space. X flood zone. Raised foundation. Roof 2023
