The main building in front and the small cottages in the rear were renovated and converted into condominiums in the 1990s. The eyebrow house at the rear was made into two separate units. Thee are a total of nine units. Unit 9 was thoroughly updated in 2014 with new windows, porcelain floor tiles, new Martha Stewart cabinets in the kitchen and two baths,new appliances, quart counter-tops, new air conditioning and hot water heater. The bedrooms themselves were remade; the baths reconfigured, back porch got TREX decking. But the charm and appeal of this sweet historic home never changed.
This was a Ben Teague Design renovation. I don't think Martha Stewart could have done any better job is using her inspired cabinets to create such a beautiful new kitchen and two baths. I make a point of noting that this renovation was professional not a home owner whimsy.
It does appear the current owner changed some of the interior colors and added color to the barn door. Wood was added to create a drama wall in the bedroom. The rear deck was redone with TREX decking. A gate at the rear opens out to the immediately adjacent parking space for unit 9. The bathroom was totally reconfigured increasing the size of the shower and adding storage not shown in the photos.
The original renovation of the second floor was less than successful. Ben Teague re-imagined the space, moved walls, and created a larger bedroom and bath.
Imagine owning a small eyebrow house that you can lock and leave and come back to. Imagine sitting on your front porch looking out to the sweet pool. Imagine walking to Sarabeth's for breakfast or the Cafe Marquess for dinner in a matter of minutes. That's why this location is so convenient.
