This renovated 5th Ward cottage is a rare 2-bedroom stand-alone house that offers privacy & quiet surroundings. It is situated at the very end of a small, short cut-de-sac street which runs off of Roseneath Ave, And yet, the house is one block from Newport Harbor, and a short walk to restaurants & shops on Lower Thames St., and neighborhood parks & playgrounds.
The cozy house has 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. Many renovations include new kitchen with granite counters, new flooring and roof, new bathroom with heated floor and stand-up tile shower with a rain showerhead/handheld combo, new carpets upstairs, and wood floors downstairs. All newish, stylish furnishings throughout. Insulation has been added to the house, making the heat cost low, with 2 zones up and downstairs.
The yard is lovely , and screened from other houses by the landscaping, so you will have privacy as you enjoy your back patio. A giant perk is the new custom-built outdoor shower, heavenly for an evening shower after a walk on the beach.
