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.

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.

This is a separate guest cottage behind someone’s house in Midtown Memphis. The location is convenient if you need to be in Midtown or downtown. The host was pleasant and communicated well. Otherwise, the unit was in need of attention. The air conditioner did not work and only blew out warm air all night. I couldn’t get the temperature to drop a single degree all night, and it remained very stuffy and difficult to sleep. When I went to try and open the windows to get air to circulate, I found that they were painted shut in the master bedroom. I was so uncomfortable sleeping there that first night that I actually left and got a hotel for my second night in town. I don’t believe the unit had likely been used in some time as when I turned the water on in the bathroom it was a pretty long run of brown, dirty water mixed with air before clear water began to run. the shower and bathtub is old and rusted. Don’t think I would stay here again.

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.

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!
