Built in 1945

Situated on a double lot in the heart of Mid City, this custom built 1940’s cottage overflows with history and charm. While updated with modern finishes, many vintage features original to the home have been preserved. Complete kitchen makeover in 2019 with stone countertops, counter-to-ceiling tiled backsplash, exposed shelving and a deep single basin sink. Matching stainless Samsung appliances (all 5 years old) include a gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge that will remain. The central kitchen island offers barstool seating, a built-in wine rack, pull out trash drawer and additional storage. Paneled wainscoting and plenty of sunshine in the dining area and living room. New energy efficient windows throughout! All bedrooms are very spacious with antique doorknobs and multiple cedar lined closets in each. Mosaic terracotta flooring and built-in mudbench in the utility room, which could also double as an office. HVAC ductwork was completely redone in 2021 and both interior/exterior units replaced. Out back you’ll find a huge fully fenced yard, large covered patio, and carport with additional parking – perfect for those who love to entertain! Originally built by an LSU horticulture professor, a lush variety of landscaping surrounds the property, including a custom grafted satsuma tree currently covered in fruit. Garage/workshop with a loft has electricity, plumbing, a sewer line, and “the oldest working water fountain in BR”. That studio/mancave/she-shed you’ve always wanted is here waiting to be finished. Now is your chance to be the next loving owner of this adorable home. Schedule your showing today!
