A lovingly updated 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom Craftsman Cottage on a double lot in the non-flood zone of the Arts District in Gulfport, Florida. The "Garden of Sweden" home has been cherished & modernized by its second owner over the past 30 years. Step inside the bright front foyer and fall in love with the way this home feels. The cozy living room features custom finishes that the owner selected; such as hand painted green tile on the brick fireplace mantle, local artisan stained glass windows, and bronze wall sconces. The built in shelving with columns that separate the living and dining area are one of the examples of fine woodworking throughout this solid 1930s home. Entertaining guests is a piece of cake with a charming dining room, butler's pantry featuring wine refrigerator and a refined kitchen with lots of cabinet space. Just off the kitchen, sip a morning latte in the sparkling four season sun room looking out into the magical garden. Step out the back door onto a brick path under a marvelous mango tree, that has the sweetest harvest every summer. Make your way to the beautiful picnic pavilion, fire up the grill, turn on the lights and celebrate with your loved ones. The detached garage has space for one car, and a separate laundry room. If the new owner prefers to have the laundry inside the house, the center closet in the hallway has the connections for a washer & dryer stack to be easily re-installed.
