*CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT, SELLER WILL CONSIDER BACKUP OFFERS* Tucked beneath towering pines just steps from a quiet bayou, this Charming Coastal Cottage has the kind of curb appeal that stops people mid-walk. The wraparound covered porch and screened-in sitting area set the tone the moment you arrive, framed by a classic white wood-and-wire fence makes the whole scene like a postcard. Through the craftsman-style wood door and the open-concept main floor does all the talking: wide-plank hickory floors flow from the entry through a living room with a shiplap-accented fireplace, into a dining nook, and straight into a kitchen built for someone who actually cooks. Think white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, a custom vent hood, a tile backsplash with real texture, and stainless appliances throughout -- plus a center island with room to gather. The main-floor primary suite is a genuine retreat, with a spa-style bathroom, a walk-in closet, its own private covered deck, and a nearby laundry room that keeps everyday life easy. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms -- each with dual closets -- share a well-appointed bath, giving guests or family their own private wing. Outside is where this property really sets itself apart. A 24-foot screened porch off the living room is practically a second living room, complete with a hanging rattan chair swing, and it opens onto a fenced backyard shaded by mature oaks and pines. The aerial view says it all: this lot backs up to a quiet, tree-lined waterway, giving you that rare mix of privacy, nature, and water access without leaving Freeport. This is a home that photographs beautifully because it lives beautifully -- a rare combination of thoughtful design, real craftsmanship, and a setting most buyers only dream about.
