Property Description

Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully renovated for modern living, this stunning Craftsman bungalow offers historic charm just outside the beloved Charpentier Historic District in downtown Lake Charles. This home offers the perfect blend of classic architecture and modern updates, creating a seamless balance between historic design and comfortable contemporary living. Exterior architectural details include exposed rafter tails, an expansive front porch with traditional Lake Charles columns, and a charming haint blue porch ceiling. Original divided-light windows with sea glass fill the home with warm, natural light. Inside, the classic features continue with original heart-pine flooring, tall ceilings, and decorative trim. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring a central island, antique cabinetry, high-end appliances, and abundant storage. For added convenience, there is a mudroom adjacent to the kitchen to help with home organization. Recent updates include bright, airy finishes throughout, a new HVAC system and duct work, and updated wiring. The upstairs level is a true bonus, providing additional flexible space, much of which is not included in the main living square footage. There are plenty of amenities outdoors, too, including garage space, an attached carport, and a fenced back yard, all situated on a corner lot. To experience all of the details that make this house a home, schedule a private tour with your agent today.
