One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Located in the sought-after Bayou Highlands neighborhood, this exceptional 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom mid-century modern home offers 1, 608 square feet of timeless design and thoughtful updates. Set on a spacious . 32-acre lot (95x146), the home features a unique blend of cypress, cedar, and brick exterior materials, creating both durability and striking curb appeal. With architectural charm, modern upgrades, and ample outdoor space for gardening and entertaining, this home is a rare find and an incredible value! As you approach, you'll be welcomed by a charming front entrance with slate steps and a stained-glass front door. Inside, the open-concept layout leads into the spacious living and dining areas, both featuring vaulted cypress/cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings, which are not only visually appealing but also moisture-resistant and pest-repellent. The living room centers around a cozy brick wood-burning fireplace, flanked by built-in bookshelves, creating an inviting space. Original oak hardwood floors throughout add warmth and character, further enhancing the modern appeal. The elegant dining room, with a beadboard accent wall, provides a perfect space for gatherings. The updated kitchen is bright and airy, offering new granite countertops, and abundant cabinetry, blending retro charm with modern convenience. One of the standout features of this home is the sunroom, accessed through a stunning triple-glazed stained-glass door. This sun-drenched room boasts floor-to-ceiling Category 4 windows, flooding the space with natural light. The built-in planter box offers the perfect space for orchids or other indoor plants, adding a touch of nature to the room. Whether used as a living room, office, or cozy retreat, this space provides a serene environment with views of the lush backyard. Both bedrooms are generously sized, with cedar-lined closets to keep clothes fresh. The retro bathroom, with original tilework, retains nostalgic charm while remaining fully functional.
The expansive backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring plumbing and electrical connections where a greenhouse once stood, ideal for an outdoor kitchen and plenty of space for a pool. Native Florida plants, including bamboo, sour orange, pink lemon, pomelo, and clementines, the garden is low-maintenance and sustainable. Additional outdoor features include a predator-proof chicken coop, compost bin, and a sprinkler well, all enhancing the home’s eco-friendly appeal. The roof was replaced in 2024, with new insulation added throughout, including the carport area, which could easily be converted into a primary suite. Additional improvements include a Trane XR HVAC system (2016) with UV light and air purification, a new water heater (2022), and a new sewer line (2021).
