Nestled in Old Metairie’s peaceful Forest Hills, this charming two-story cottage was completely rebuilt in 2003 and awaits your personal refresh. The welcoming front porch with swing makes enjoying the outdoors easy. Inside, the living room and dining room are ideal for entertaining. The kitchen features Formica countertops, dovetailed wood cabinetry, and a breakfast room. The first-level primary suite includes a spacious bath and an attached office/optional 5th bedroom. Upstairs offers a large playroom, three generous bedrooms, a full bath, and a second laundry. The detached oversized garage with carport is plumbed for a full bathroom and has a second-floor unfinished mezzanine with potential for future guest suite. All trim and cabinetry in the home are made of real wood. Flood Zone X.
