Charming Cottage with Workshop & loads of potential! Experience the perfect blend of country serenity and functional living in this unique brick cottage located LESS THAN 0.3 miles (roughly 500-1,500 feet) past the Rapides Parish line in Avoyelles Parish. Whether you are looking for an exceptional starter home or the ideal space to downsize, this property offers versatility that is hard to find. The heart of the home features hardwood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a massive picture window that floods the room with refreshing natural light. A large kitchen with a bay window, kitchen peninsula to add barstools and a breakfast/dining area to enjoy meal time. Both bedrooms are impressively oversized! Large enough to be partitioned into multi-functional spaces like a home office, nursery, or hobby nook. They also feature oversized closets! A well-maintained layout that balances a "cottage" feel with modern rustic finishes and lots of potential for updates and custom improvements. Outdoor Plumbed Workshop: A standout feature for creators or investors is the detached shop that is already plumbed for a full bathroom and ready to be converted into a guest suite, mother-in-law quarters, or a rental opportunity. Relax on the covered back porch and enjoy the view of horses and the beautiful, partially fenced-in backyard. It's a nice retreat for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Another perk of this home is the covered parking (carport) and the large laundry room!
