127 Cypress Ave Natchitoches, LA 71457

Constructed in 1914, this two-story Craftsman historic home is a contributing property to the Natchitoches National Landmark Historic District and one block from Northwestern State University. It has been meticulously preserved, boasting 4-5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and spans approximately 3489 square feet.
The detached two-story apartment/guest house, mirroring the main house, provides additional living space with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a kitchen/living area, laundry/utility space, a quaint balcony porch, and a covered stoop that could be used for full-time leasing, a guest house, or as an income-generating Airbnb.
Upon entering through the inviting front porch, you are welcomed into a generous living room bathed in natural light with 11-foot ceilings, leading to a formal dining room designed for hosting. The bright adjoining kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop, an eat-at bar, and a breakfast nook. The sunroom/family room, which can serve as a fifth bedroom, showcases original beaded-board walls next to the downstairs bathroom. The home's four spacious bedrooms, two on each floor, feature built-in chests and ample closet space. Dual-system central heating ensures comfort throughout the residence.
The home retains its original wood flooring, with ceramic tiles laid in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. Architectural details include classic bullseye corner blocks on windows and doors, broad baseboards, original glass panes, picture rails, and a dormer leading to a balcony. The upstairs bathroom maintains its original pedestal sink and a deep soaking tub.
Situated on a one-way street, the property features circular driveway for multiple vehicles, off-street parking, and shaded backyard. A majestic live oak tree graces the front, complemented by holly, camellia, and azalea shrubs.
This estate is ideally suited for a growing family or an investor seeking a property with character and potential income opportunities.
