Description
Welcome to timeless charm in the heart of Old Goodwood/Mid-City-- where historic character meets thoughtful modern updates. This fully renovated cottage is the perfect blend of warmth, style, and functionality -- all with no HOA. From the moment you arrive, you'll fall in love with the classic cypress siding, brick exterior, charming awnings and original fretwork details that give this home storybook curb appeal. Professionally landscaped with front irrigation and a custom electric driveway gate, the exterior is just as polished as the interior. Step inside to lovingly refinished original hardwood floors and a light-filled living room featuring wood windows and a nearly new solid wood front door with glass insert. Natural light pours in, creating an inviting and airy feel throughout. The kitchen is truly special -- beautifully detailed cabinetry with exceptional storage, a new gas range & hood in 2023, and ample space for an eat-in setup or future island addition. Just off the kitchen is a heated and cooled flex space with laundry -- ideal as a home office, gym, playroom, or creative studio. All three bedrooms are generously sized: Primary suite features great windows and 2 closets, 2nd includes excellent closet space and 3rd showcases stunning cypress grooved paneling, adding architectural depth and character. The bathroom is a preserved vintage treasure -- original blue and yellow ceramic tile with a blue tub/shower combo -- paired perfectly with an updated pedestal sink and toilet for modern comfort. Outside, enjoy: fully fenced yard, 2-car covered carport, large patio area perfect for entertaining, spacious storage room and additional covered concrete pad. HVAC new in 2021, roof less than 10 years old, water heater new in 2023. Location is everything -- and this home delivers. Convenient to shopping, dining, entertainment, and excellent schools. If you are looking for character, updates, functionality and unbeatable charm under $300K--this cottage is the one!
