About this home

This one has a soul. Tucked under a canopy of mature trees in the beloved Broadmoor neighborhood, this charming 2-bed, 1-bath cottage with a signature teal metal roof is the kind of place that makes you slow down the moment you pull up. The front porch practically begs for a morning cup of coffee. Inside, every room tells a story - original hardwood floors, a beautiful fireplace, crown molding, built-in shelving, and a kitchen splashed in vibrant hand-painted tile that feels more Oaxaca than Louisiana. It shouldn't work... but it absolutely does! The bedrooms are generously sized with great natural light, and the large bathroom has that warm, old-soul charm to match. A light-filled sunroom off the primary bedroom opens to the side of the house while the back door off the kitchen opens to an outdoor space that is genuinely special - a flagstone patio under a blooming crape myrtle, a fire pit, and raised garden beds that are already producing vegetables, peppers, and more. A place to grow things, gather the people you love, and still have plenty of open lawn left over for kids and pets to run free. Detached garage with garden shed attached to the back adds storage or workshop potential. Cozy, creative, and completely one-of-a-kind.
