From the moment you arrive, the inviting curb appeal, welcoming front porch, and enchanting cottage garden set the tone for what’s inside. Step through the front door and discover warm wood slatted ceilings throughout much of the home, adding rich texture and a sense of history. The galley-style, eat-in kitchen is both functional and full of personality, featuring abundant cabinetry with glass-front doors, open shelving, and classic stainless steel appliances, all perfectly suited for both everyday living and casual entertaining. The primary bedroom is a true retreat, showcasing vaulted natural wood ceilings, dual closets, and an abundance of natural light. It also offers private access to the covered back deck — perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or winding down in the evening. The primary bathroom features earth-toned tile and a large, walk-in shower that adds a spa-like touch. Two spacious secondary bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits. Ideal for pet lovers, the home includes a built-in dog door leading to the fully fenced backyard. The covered back deck, topped with a charming tin roof, overlooks a tranquil, wooded retreat — your own private escape in the city. And with walkability to the vibrant Village of Avondale Estates, including its locally loved restaurants and shops, you’ll find the perfect balance of comfort, character, and convenience in this unique home.
