What's special
Listen to me, because this is the one you’ve been waiting for. If you want a hip, high-vibe location right off Government Street, this is it. You are literally walking distance to the absolute best spots in the neighborhood—grab coffee at French Truck, tacos at Barracuda, dinner at Circa, or a drink at Pelican to Mars. You aren't just buying a house; you are buying straight into the walkable, energetic heartbeat of Mid-City. Also it's an active Short Term Rental through Airbnb for any investors that have always wanted to enter the short term rental world!! They took this three-bedroom, two-bath Craftsman completely down to the studs and brought it back to life with nine-foot ceilings, an open-concept split floor plan, and serious attention to detail. The kitchen features custom soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a marble mosaic backsplash, and a custom hood vent crafted from the home’s original wood siding. You also get a pre-wired herringbone feature wall in the living room, a hand-crafted cedar kitchen island, a formal dining room accent wall built from reclaimed historical wood, and a master retreat with a custom wood valance and a ceiling-to-floor tiled shower. Best of all, you get historic charm with zero deferred maintenance thanks to a brand-new roof, brand-new warranted dual-action windows, brand-new HVAC, and updated plumbing and electrical. Even better for the savvy investor: this property is an active short-term rental, meaning it's completely set up to start generating immediate income from day one. Properties with this location, style, and cash-flow potential do not sit around, so call me right now and let's get your offer locked in.
