About This Home
As of June 2025Step into history with this unique home in Lake Charles! Originally designed as a 2 or 3-bedroom layout, this home reflects its era with the absence of closets, typical of its time. Modern updates include renovated plumbing and electrical systems, as well as central air conditioning for added comfort. A new roof was installed post-Hurricane Laura. Distinctive features include a one-of-a-kind stone fireplace mantle and unique stonework on the front porch. Dating back to the early 1900s, around the time of the construction of the present-day courthouse, this house is steeped in local lore. It's rumored that leftover materials from the courthouse were used by a skilled mason to craft this residence for his wife. With loads of potential for the discerning buyer, this historic gem is ideal for conventional, as-is, or cash buyers. Due to its age, the property does not qualify for FHA or VA financing. All measurements are approximate. Take this opportunity to own a piece of Lake Charles' rich history! Home to be sold "as is". Seller will not make any repairs.
