    **Parking, Courtyard, Possible Third Bedroom!** Welcome to 738 Lesseps at Dauphine in Beautiful Bywater...and talk about too many improvements to list. Let's start at the beginning; the home was first built in the early 1900s, let's now fast forward to 2013 when current ownership purchased this historic home. In 2014, work began refinishing the hardwood floors, installing stainless steel appliances and customizing the primary bath. Guest bath was refreshed in 2015, also installing a whole-home Generac generator. We then move to 2017, which included custom tile flooring in the laundry and kitchen. In 2018, a detailed chef's kitchen was added, featuring a 'Goddess Le Cuisine' tiled perfectly above the gas stove to enhance our potential culinary skills. The details came together in 2019 with transoms, four sets of french doors, custom Ruffino closets. In 2021, custom blinds and magnetic window inserts for sound softening and efficiency were added. The Courtyard patio, pergola, fountain, fence and flower beds arrived early 2022 with new rear doors and HVAC in 2023. Finishing in the present in August 2026 with fresh exterior paint dressed all around. Let's not forget 12 ft ceilings and our electric gate for dedicated off-street parking. Library/Possible Third Bedroom, Detailed property disclosures and floor plan available. Welcome to 738 Lesseps in Beautiful Bywater, a dream come true.
