Description

Stunning Gulf Coast Cottage on one of Midtown's most popular streets! It is one of the oldest and most beautiful Creole Cottages in the area! This home was built by Henry March in 1852 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. About 8 feet off the ground this beauty sits up prestigiously and looks out over the street. The curb appeal draws you onto the full-length porch across the front perfect for afternoon books in a swing or chatting with your neighbors. Inside you will find a central hall layout with the living and formal dining on your right, half bath and the end, and the Primary suite encompassing the entire left side and includes a large walk-in closet and bath with a stainless circular soaking tub and walk-in shower. Soaring ceilings, original wide planked heart pine floors, heavy molding, and three decorative fireplaces showcase the extreme amount of charm and character you expect from such an amazing home. The current kitchen is a galley kitchen and has been fully remodeled with stunning cabinetry and quartz countertops, a fridge, and a wine cooler, but is smaller and not a full kitchen. There is an attached wing fully gutted and waiting for the most amazing large chef's kitchen and breakfast nook or den space to be constructed with ease because, unlike most renovations that are inconvenient, you will not lose the use of a kitchen while a new one is being constructed! Upstairs you will find a landing and two more nice-sized bedrooms and a full bath complete with timeless tile, and a claw foot tub/shower combo. Outside in the back is a detached carriage house perfect for an office or workshop, a deck with a pergola perfect for dining alfresco while entertaining, a fire pit area, and more covered porch space. The square footage includes the room ready for renovation. Call for your private tour of this stunning beauty today!
