1202 Missouri Ave

An eclectic three bedroom/2 bathroom home + converted garage, tucked peacefully away in an established neighborhood between WS Young and Trimmier Rd, just minutes from Hwy 190 & Jasper. Use our 360 virtual tour to see why this home is as stunning from the sidewalk as it is from the primary suite inside: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=u4Xq8YZajCZ At first glance, you can't help but appreciate the sleek but rustic curb appeal of this gem, as it has been tastefully updated with rich, wood shutters, a freshly painted exterior, and handsome sconce accent lighting hung on all sides of the house. This soothing ensemble of tones and textures is enriched by the freshly mulched flowerbeds that line the driveway and wrap around the house toward the back. There, you'll witness a beautiful fusion of nature-made antiquity and modern sophistication, evidenced by plush grass on one side of the yard and the centuries old tree groves that tower over the smooth cement surfaces on the other side of the yard. A porch, rising above ground level, is accessible by sliding glass doors from the dining room, an extended slab patio offers convenient travel around the perimeter of the house, and a paved walkway crosses the lawn and connects to an elegant pergola already strung with lights. Create your own modern-day 'hanging gardens' this summer with your favorite ivy or fruit vine. In fact, the entire property showcases this unique and lovely balance of both classic and contemporary elements of design. The converted garage, for example, has a built-in dry bar that artfully incorporates the original garage awning and is constructed from brick similar to what is found outside. These authentic components pair seamlessly with otherwise modern features like the recessed lighting above and tile flooring below, altogether, creating the perfect space for a home office, gym, game room, or den. Modern details continue to unfold throughout the house, which measures nearly 1600 sq ft, without compromising the architectural integrity of the build era. Examples include the impressive tilework found in both bathrooms, which also feature updated vanities, new low flow toilets, and textured glass window panels for privacy. The contemporary grayscale color palette used throughout the home is surprisingly vibrant, made possible by the smoky marble tile flooring, the clever use of metallics and earth tones for accent color, the bold contrast of stark white cabinets & sleek black appliances in the kitchen, and modern globe pendant lighting, hung in the dining room . But this home has as much substance as it does style, providing ample storage space, an open floor plan with primary suite at its own end of the hall, a brand new washer and dryer that comes with the home at no additional cost, a pre-wired Smart home console & doorbell ready to use, a six burner gas stove with built-in dual oven, and a friendly pet policy that allows your 4-legged loved ones the chance to move in too!
