Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 27, 2024
Downtown area/garden district 2 story historic charmer. Located within walking distance of restaurants and events. Zoned for mixed use , this lovely family home would also make a great B&B or professional office. The deep lot could be partially paved to allow additional parking. Built circa 1906, this large beautiful Craftsman home is loaded with character. Featuring 5 fireplaces, 2 sets of pocket doors, high ceilings and 3 living areas including a second story sun room that's flooded with light. There's a large, shaded north facing front porch and a sunny rear deck. Both bathrooms feature clawfoot tubs with shower curtain rails. The foyer features craftsman columns and picture framed hanging staircase. All of the downstairs rooms have 2 doorways so there is an excellent 'flow' throughout, making it a perfect space for large parties and gatherings without feeling boxed in. The kitchen has saltilla tile floors and countertops and large granite slab island and tons of under counter storage and open shelving. The family room has saltilla floor tiles, a quaint rear staircase leading up to the sunroom and tons of light pouring through the south facing wall of windows. The study/office features a gas log fireplace insert, brick paver flooring, faux punched-tin ceiling, pocket doors and large freestanding bookshelves that will remain. The large formal dining room also has a gas log fireplace insert and is perfect for dinner parties. The majority of the home features original wood flooring that was refinished in 2011. Seller is a licensed Louisiana real estate salesperson.
