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.

Additional sleeping for 2 provided with a queen pullout sofa. A brand-new 4 inch memory foam mattress has been installed , making it very comfortable. A stack washer dryer and all needed items for use are provided for you in a hall closet. Cable, High Speed Internet and Wi-Fi is available free of charge.

Guest access

Everything is yours to use except for one locked owner's closet. One car parking is provided in front of the unit. Please note driveway is tight and this space is meant for a standard size car. Anything larger should park on the side street and walk up the steps to cottage.

Interaction with guests

My goal is to make your stay as comfortable as possible.I live in the neighborhood and can provide what every help you need. Only a phone call away.

The cottage is located in the historical district of Central Gardens in Midtown Memphis. The location is ideal for being centrally located between downtown, Graceland and East Memphis.

The owner responded promptly to the problems I found. It is undergoing a messy landscaping project right now. Could use a bit of an update. The yard had an old rug and other litter lying around.

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!

Cottage was located in Central Ave. Where many of the Southern Mansions are located. Cottage was behind one of those. It was nice and clean. It had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Driveway was tight but doable. We recommend this cottage for short safe stay.

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!!
