This stunning 1920s Craftsman cottage in Alexandria’s Garden District deserves a second (or third) look if you've been waiting for the special property that checks every box: style, space, income potential, and location! Located on picturesque Marye Street near Bayou Robert, this once-in-a-generation opportunity offers over 3,400 square feet of heated living space, including a beautiful main home, a three-car garage with bonus office/storage, and a 1,200 sq ft garage apartment that would be ideal for guests, a home business, or rental income. Inside the main house, you’ll find the perfect blend of modern function and vintage soul. Soaring 10-ft ceilings, a gas fireplace, and original 100-year-old hardwood floors with marquetry details bring warmth and elegance to the space. Two oversized bedrooms, including a dreamy primary suite with walk-in closet, offer comfort and privacy. The smartly designed laundry and guest bath combo features a partitioned toilet/sink area — a clever touch for hosting. You’ll be inspired by the chef’s kitchen, outfitted with custom floor-to-ceiling hard rock maple cabinetry, 6-burner gas cooktop, infrared warmers, prep sink, and double ovens. With 40-inch countertops, generous storage, and bold, creative design, this kitchen is equal parts functional and fabulous. Step outside to your own private New Orleans-style brick courtyard that is perfect for al fresco dinners, quiet mornings, or weekend gatherings. French doors and transom windows connect the indoors with this magical outdoor space, creating seamless flow and natural light. Need extra space?
