The newly listed home at 1024 Southard Street is as pretty and as charming on the inside as it is on the outside. The listing Realtor describes this 1530 sq ft two bedroom / two bath house as:
"Wonderful Old Town home on a beautiful block with a huge light filled great
room that you will never want to leave! Eight French doors lead out to a heated
salt generated pool with waterfall feature as well as a separate back yard
garden & lounging area with a jacuzzi/spa. This artfully renovated home has
2BR/2BA + an office, stylish Ipe decking, outdoor shower, even gated &
bricked off street parking!"
The central hallway leads past a home office on the left front and a guest bedroom opposite toward the great room in the rear. The painted Dade County Pine walls provide a subtle backdrop for the placement of art and furnishings. The deep cherry floors set a stark contrast to the crisp white baseboards, doors, and trim. Multiple sets of French doors add drama to the great room by providing garden and/or pool views from three different directions.
The kitchen is tucked off to the side. But it isn't small, just tucked. There are ample food preparation areas in this kitchen as well as a nifty bar for informal dining.
A set of ancient glass doors at the main level shuts off the stairway to the second floor master suite from whatever is going on in the house. The master bedroom is the perfect nesting spot in this home. And the bathroom is quite large.
1024 Southard Street has bricked and gated off street parking - that is true rarity in Old Town. The yards are handsomely landscaped and have nighttime illumination. The pool is large enough for a real pool party. A hot tub is located at the rear side of the house where the current owner also has an outdoor dining area. There is a place for everything in this house and everything is in its place.

I know a lot of potential buyers think they may "need" more bedrooms for the time the relatives or friends come to town. There's a really charming guest house a block away. Think of putting up your once a year relatives in a guest house and save yourselves a couple of hundred thousand dollars.
