Central Blue Door....Newly Renovated Historic Midtown Cottage

I am a local contractor and designer who has taken this 1920's cottage and taken it down to the studs to bring it back to 2017 standards for comfort and style. I have removed walls and vaulted ceilings making this a very light filled space with a open floor plan. The kitchen/great room is approximately 500 ft.² which provides breakfast bar, dining table for four and comfortable seating for five. 55" TV provided in den and 40" TV in the bedroom.

The kitchen is equipped with refrigerator, freezer, microwave vent hood, and electric stove/oven. Enjoy complimentary snack basket and Keurig coffee maker. Island provides for 2 bar stools. Cupboard is full of glasses, mugs, cookware, silverware and a multitude of pots and pans to make cooking easy and convenient during your stay.

The bedroom includes a queen size bed, fine linens, down comforter, and three large closets. Large bath with tub/shower, 4 foot vanity and even a heated towel rack. Shampoo,Conditioner and Body Wash provided in shower dispenser.

Nice place in quiet neighborhood

My second time staying here. I like that it is in a residential neighborhood, so quiet and safe. But still an easy drive/Uber to many restaurants, downtown, zoo. etc. Full kitchen and very comfortable. The owner was very responsive to an issue that came up the first time I stayed here.

Great location and wonderful place to stay!

The blue cottage is so close to everything in the hip Cooper-Young district and not too far from downtown Memphis either! We took the bus or Uber to most of the sites and there is way too many good food places locally or downtown! Tru to got all the places on the bathroom artwork!

Perfect!!

What a nice, cozy cottage with all the amenities needed.. My husband, our 16 yo grandson and I were very happy with our stay. It was the perfect size for the 3 of us. Nice neighborhood, quiet, very clean, nice decor and close to so many things. Owner was quick to respond to messages and provided a complete and thorough instuctions/directions. We were told the parking could be tight. But, we have a large SUV and didn't have any trouble getting in and out. (Even had room to change a flat tire!) Side street parking is also available. We would definitely stay again!!
