About This Home
As of July 2021This adorable and cozy early-1900s cottage is located in the Downtown Historic District and is absolutely perfect for the first-time buyer, the downsizer, or anyone who enjoys the quaint charm of the Lake Charles Garden District. Located within walking distance of all the downtown restaurants, shops, bars, street festivals and parades. This home boasts 11-12 foot ceilings throughout, the original wood floors, an updated kitchen with all JennAir commercial grade stainless appliances, a bathroom with heated tile floors and an antique claw-foot bathtub, and a master bedroom with the original built-in wardrobes and drawers. The deep front porch was recently rebuilt with maintenance-free synthetic decking. A light and bright sunroom (or bedroom) is located at the rear of the house with windows galore overlooking the backyard oasis. Other features include a new roof, a new tankless hot water heater, storm windows throughout, recently updated electrical and plumbing, and a fully-fenced back yard. There is a detached garage behind the house which will comfortably park one car with plenty of space left over for a workshop. This home has never flooded and is located in flood zone X (where flood insurance is not required).
