Property Description

Timeless Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Downtown Lake CharlesStep back in time without leaving modern comfort behind in this beautifully preserved 1901 Victorian cottage in the heart of Downtown Lake Charles. From the moment you arrive, the soft sage exterior, ornate gable detailing, and welcoming front porch invite you to slow down and stay awhile. The generous covered front porch, adorned with rocking chairs, a porch swing, and lush azaleas in bloom, sets the tone for the warmth found throughout. Inside, soaring ceilings, rich original hardwood floors, and elegant crown molding tell the story of a home lovingly cared for over a century. A stunning central hallway with a crystal chandelier flows through the home, opening to generous living spaces filled with natural light and character at every turn.The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range, all while preserving the home's historic soul with exposed original brick accents. The adjacent dining area and open living spaces make entertaining effortless. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, while the showstopping en-suite bath features dramatic dark marble tile, classic penny tile floors, board-and-batten wainscoting, and a glam vanity with Hollywood lighting. A custom mudroom with built-in bench and storage leads to the back of the home, where a brand-new elevated deck overlooks the spacious backyard, great for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying a beautiful day. A detached one-car garage provides additional storage or workspace. This is more than a home, it's a piece of Lake Charles history, ready for its next chapter. All measurements more and less.
