Charming 3-bedroom main home + a bonus room, + a detached 571 sq/ft apartment (full kitchen, bath, living room & laundry) that would serve perfectly as a detached office, and a separate 571 sq ft workshop/garage, all tucked behind a white picket fence in the Garden District! This precious cottage blends original character with thoughtful modern updates & has been completely renovated with a new roof, new windows & cosmetic updates. Original shiplap, antique glass doorknobs, and historic details are woven throughout. The kitchen features antique beams from an 1800s Kentucky home, reclaimed flooring from Hundred Oaks, custom cabinets to the ceiling, stone countertops, farmhouse sink, gas range, subway tile backsplash, island, & a shiplap-wrapped hood vent. The spacious laundry room offers black-and-white hexagon tile. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated. The guest bath includes mini hex tile, an antique vanity, and a subway-tiled shower to the ceiling. The primary suite features an extended sitting area, walk-in closet, wainscoting, clawfoot tub, large tiled shower, and double vanity. Living & dining areas are filled with natural light from a wall of windows. Enjoy the charming front porch with swing and brick pathway. The backyard is fully fenced and includes a 400 sq/ft covered patio with built-in seating, stained beadboard ceiling, and outdoor fireplace, + an elevated deck with awning, brick paver patio with pergola, and no history of flooding. The apartment features wood floors, built-ins, stainless steel appliances, charming 1940s details, excellent storage, and walk-in closets. Previously rented and used by LSU students.
