Property Description

Exceptional historic Old Town Bay Saint Louis cottage tucked behind a wall of mature ligustrum and a classic white picket fence, offering privacy and a true coastal retreat. A gracious wraparound porch sets the tone. Inside, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with 11-foot ceilings, white oak floors throughout, and French doors that open seamlessly to outdoor living spaces. The layout is open and easy, with generous living and dining rooms, renovated kitchen and baths, updated windows, and abundant natural light. The primary suite opens to a screened porch, creating a quiet, private escape. A large laundry room and well-considered storage add to the home's livability. Thoughtful upgrades include a metal roof, recently installed central HVAC system, and a tankless water heater. The gated driveway with automatic entry leads to covered parking. Additional features include an outdoor storage room, outdoor shower, irrigation system, and landscape lighting. A charming statue of Mother Mary, set on an artist's original oyster shell pedestal, adds a distinctive and personal touch to the grounds. All just a short walk to the beach, 100 Men Hall, and the best of Old Town dining and shopping. Just one hour from New Orleans, this golf cart-friendly community also offers twice-daily Amtrak service and the home is a quick walk to the train depot. A perfect full-time residence or weekend retreat, this polished, move-in ready coastal cottage is ideally situated in one of the Gulf Coast's most desirable neighborhoods.
