Sheltered beneath the magnificent canopy of "Earl David," a registered 200-year-old live oak, this extraordinary residence is among the most enchanting and distinctive homes in Old Town Bay Saint Louis. Rich in architectural character and timeless craftsmanship, this gracious cottage offers an exceptional blend of historic charm, bespoke finishes, and sophisticated coastal living. Perfectly situated in desirable Flood Zone X, the home is only a leisurely stroll from the Depot District, Washington Street Pier, the sea wall, the municipal marina, and the celebrated restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and entertainment that have made Old Town Bay Saint Louis one of the Gulf Coast's most treasured communities. A gracious, south facing front porch welcomes family and friends into an interior where warmth and craftsmanship abound. Handsome Craftsman doors, exquisite cypress interior doors, bespoke cabinetry, custom millwork with cypress accents, and beautifully appointed tile baths reflect a level of artistry rarely found in today's homes. Pella windows, featuring rich wood interiors and durable clad exteriors, bathe every room in natural light while offering exceptional performance for the semi-tropical Gulf Coast climate. Designed for both comfort and privacy, the home features two generously sized bedroom suites, each with its own beautifully tiled and finished bath. One offers a spacious walk in shower, while the second features a luxurious soaking tub with shower and an adjoining walk in closet. Exceptional storage throughout the home, including a partially floored attic, ensures beauty is matched by practicality. At the rear of the home, a versatile bonus room offers endless possibilities as a library, den, private office, guest suite, or additional bedroom. Thoughtful recent improvements include a new driveway, and a whole-house water filtration system. Along the western boundary, mature bamboo creates a lush, natural screen that provides welcome afternoon shade and enhances the home's peaceful private setting. The grounds are nothing short of magical. Anchoring the property is EARL DAVID, whose majestic limbs have watched over Bay Saint Louis for two centuries. Beneath this remarkable live oak lies an enchanting New Orleans style courtyard, where mature citrus trees perfume the air and create an atmosphere of serenity and old world ambience. The expansive back yard offers abundant space for a swimming pool, a garden, and a work shop, making it as functional as it is beautiful. Storm protection has been thoughtfully incorporated with labeled storm shutters and panels stored in the shed. Homes of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Defined by timeless design, bespoke craftsmanship, gracious living spaces, and one of the most remarkable live oaks in Old Town, this is far more than a home--it is a legacy property, offering an unparalleled Old Town Bay Saint Louis lifestyle. This kind of listing invites buyers to imagine not just owning a house, but becoming the next steward of a remarkable piece of Bay Saint Louis.
