About This Home
Welcome to this charming Colonial style home, in the coveted & historic Highland Park neighborhood! Enjoy the views of the Lafayette Country Club from your front yard! Upon entry, you will be greeted by an inviting foyer, with a beautiful oak staircase, and a half bath. The home has a formal front living room with a double-sided wood burning fireplace, built-ins and lots of natural light. Beautiful refinished hardwood floors throughout! This home offers plenty of room for comfortable living and entertaining. Opposite the living room is an additional space, which could serve as a library, an office or a playroom. The formal dining room is elegant, and a great space for entertaining. The updated kitchen is open & spacious, and features a large working island/bar with granite countertops. The kitchen overlooks a massive family room with vaulted ceilings, a gas log fireplace, built-ins and tons of window light. Step out back to the large, fully fenced backyard, with an expansive deck for relaxing and entertaining. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms and a large, remodeled full bathroom. The master bedroom features a laundry closet, and an exterior door that leads to what could be finished out as a balcony/ rooftop deck. The full unfinished basement provides even more opportunities - with an additional full bath rough-in. Updates to the home include: new furnace & A/C, new water heater, water softener, smart thermostat & doorbells, updated plumbing and windows. Excellent opportunity to move into this historic neighborhood, situated right across from from the Lafayette Country Club & golf course, and so close to Downtown Lafayette.
