The classic lines of the 1930s’ brick cottage style homes found in east hill are much sought after - and this beautifully restored 1938 home is located on the corner of lakeview and escambia avenues, just a few blocks from the bayou and bayview park. The main house has 3383 sqft. (which is a rare find for a cottage home) and the studio, which overlooks the pool, with 528 sqft. For a total of over 3900 sqft. The home is situated on a 125’ x 95’ lot with mature landscaping around the home besides the large oak trees that are along the street in this area. The solid construction of these brick cottage homes are one reason for their popularity and this one features items like: tongue and groove roof decking, hardwood floors (in most rooms), original tile in main bathrooms, and solid wood doors with glass knobs. The current (third owners) of this home were careful to blend the original features with the great new upgrades to keep the warm and inviting feel the original owners enjoyed. The 27 x 8 front cover porch with original cracked tile has been enclosed with large tinted glass windows and heated and cooled - i great place to sit with neighbors and relax. Thru the french front door you enter the living room with built in shelves to your left and a working gas log fireplace set between two windows on your right. Straight ahead you will see the dining room thru a curved archway with a great chandelier. Both of these rooms have plenty of windows with plantation shutters (found throughout the lower level), and special uniquely textured paster walls found in a few of the nicer 1930s’ homes here. The master suite, plus a second bedroom are on the first floor. The master is composed of two rooms - the sitting room which you enter first and then the bedroom. The master has it’s own bathroom and there is also another full bath between the master bedroom and the second bedroom. The 13x10 kitchen just past the dining room also has a 10x11 eat-in area which overlooks the pool area with a built in seating area and bookcases on each side. The kitchen features; professional grade stainless steel appliances - even a warmer drawer, granite counter tops and backsplash, 24 in. Porcelain tile flooring, and lots of custom cabinets - the bookcases, window seat and white end cabinet were apart of the kitchen remodel and were designed to keep some of the style of the original 30’s style - and popular even today to mix finishes. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms, a full bathroom and plenty of closet space. One of the features that sets this 1930 home apart from most others is the large 20 x 37 great room that was an addition by the first owners using the same style and color brick as the main house and remodeled by the current owners into a wonderful open space with lots of windows and wide plank hand-scraped 3/4” hardwood floor. There are large storage closets found along the wall in the front part of this room along with built in shelves and desk area. The focal point of the room as you come into from off the kitchen is the large chicago brick fireplace that takes up most of the back wall. There is a large 14 x7 laundry room, a fully remodeled half bath and storage area behind the fireplace wall. Just out side of the great room is the pool / courtyard area. The 40 x 8 salt water lap pool with concrete and brick coping edge (vinyl liner) is has a brick wall and custom built wood fence creating a cozy garden courtyard. Facing the pool is a 20 x 22 studio (currently an office) and has plumbing available that could be used to convert this area into a guest house. It also makes a great pool house and exercise room. The lot is still big enough for a two car garage if desired. Currently there are parking areas on both the escambia and lakeview sides of the home. The cottage brick homes usually do not stay on the market long -- and this is one of the best east hill has to offer in way of location, features, updates, floor plans and square footage!
