Centrally located in walkable East Carrollton, 1520 Adams Street is a cheerful Craftsman cottage that radiates charm and comfort. The simple, efficient layout makes both life and entertaining effortless, starting with the welcoming front porch, that leads directly into the spacious living room, that opens into the central dining room, that leads into the happy kitchen. The back door opens onto the cozy screened porch (that doubles as a catio), the deck, and the rear yard, which is ideally sized for gardening or playtime, and contains one of the cutest sheds ever built. Other features include 2 independent bedrooms, 1 large bathroom with tub, inside laundry room with space for storage, freshly painted plaster walls, newly refinished heart pine floors, original cypress doors, plenty of natural light, and a driveway. Situated on the “Adams Street Ridge” formed by the Macarty/Carrollton Crevasse in 1816, this cottage is located in a notable X flood zone on both the 1984 and 2016 flood maps. The almost-complete Adams St drainage and roadwork project includes a brand new subsurface drainage system for the first time ever, and completely rebuilt and repaved roads. This house is easy to love, and easy to live in—come and visit!
