119 washington street

It is rare that such a unique house goes on the market in Old Town Bay Saint Louis. A perfect craftsman bungalow, circa 1909, on the first block of Washington St. Two stories. Flood zone X. A half block to the beach and sea wall. This bungalow is set on a gorgeous and oversized lot with 150 feet road frontage and 130 feet deep. This lot is over half an acre! The yard is lush with many trees, and there is a gorgeous live oak in the front on the eastern side of the house. A spacious L shaped front porch gives welcome, and the impressive south facing Dutch door opens in to a sitting room with fire place. Beautiful original windows let in an abundance of natural light. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the house. Behind the sitting room is a marvelous dining room with painted beams and coffered ceilings, and strikingly painted wood paneled walls. A secluded and private porch opens off of the dining room facing the back of the house. Off of the sitting room, in the front of the house, is a music room with built in shelves, and seating along the wall, offering another intimate and cozy place to light. The primary bedroom is downstairs and adjacent to a meticulously renovated tiled bathroom with a walk in shower. Off the front hallway is a spacious den opening on to the kitchen. The kitchen has stunning sinker cypress cabinets, gas cooktop, two ovens, and soap stone counters. Off of the kitchen is the back hallway, a half bath, and stairs to the second floor. A U shaped landing upstairs, a full bathroom, and two bedrooms each with a bank of windows. There is a large cedar closet and a floored attic. Stroll to down town Bay Saint Louis along the sea wall to the municipal marina, shops, restaurants, coffee houses, galleries, and all the entertainment Bay Saint Louis has to offer.
