Built in 1939

This historic residence was redesigned to be at the height of style, and re-engineered to withstand storms. Style and living: an original circa 1900 residence within the Charpentier Historic district, this home was fully remodeled inside and out, in 2020 (before and after hurricanes Laura and Delta), with significant ongoing work since. It was converted from a 3/1.5 to a wonderfully stylish 2/1.5. Repainted. Original white oak hardwood flooring downstairs, with new encaustic look tile in the kitchen, laundry room, and downstairs bath. Second bedroom has been opened up to the glassed in sun porch. Master bedroom is two bedrooms opened up into one with a massive walk-in closet. Where the walls were removed, an early 19th century hand-hewn, Amish beam was installed. Master bath has an antique cabinet converted into a small vanity, new penny tile, and walk-in glass enclosed wet room at the end. All new fixtures. Upstairs original wood floors appear to be to be heart pine, and where patched, are rough cut antique flooring. New light fixtures throughout the house. All wiring upgraded. Upstairs windows have honeycomb window shades for solar/thermal control. There is a natural gas 22KW Cummins generator (2022), sufficient to run the entire house in the event of a power outage. Automatic transfer switch installed. Don't miss out and schedule your showing today. Amenities attached. All measurements are more or less.
