Affectionally called "the cottage" by locals, this cozy home in the center of historic St Francisville is a rare find at this price point, and offers almost 1600 sf living space. The cottage is situated on approximately 1/3 acre and is canopied by beautiful live oak trees and wildflower gardens all around. You'll fall in love the moment you set foot on the property! There are warm and natural finishings like natural wood shiplap ceiling, wood & brick accents, painted concrete floors and tons of natural light in every room.

The split floorplan offers privacy for the spacious oversized primary suite that's located at the rear of the home. It's even large enough for an office nook.
