TRULY ONE OF THE GREATS! This Monroe landmark was once the home site of Colonel Henry O’Kelly’s tobacco and cotton plantation and was located at 123 North Sixth Street in Monroe. As time marched on, the dwelling became surrounded by buildings and a super highway better known as I-20. In 1971, Architect Travis Oliver and his wife Sally purchased the home with the goal of restoring the home as close to its original appearance as possible. The home was then moved piece by piece to a large tract on Horseshoe Lake Road. Over the years, the owners have built numerous additions including a pool and gazebo, a 3 car garage, a guest apt, an exercise room, and a large addition in 1980 which included a new kitchen, family room and guest suite. In 2000, they glassed in the original back screen porch, added a new screen porch, and a covered walkway to the garage. This Acadian style home features 5 bedrooms, 5.1 baths and is situated under magnificent live oak trees with a large circular driveway. The garage apartment is attached to the main house by a covered walkway and features a downstairs den area, two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and is app. 1500 hsf Not included in the total sf is a storage building on the south side of the property with overhead doors and a 3 stall barn with a tack room located behind the house. The 640 ft screened porch overlooks the pool and backyard and features brick flooring, a gas grill with a separate burner for frying, a large copper vent hood, and recessed lighting. The gunite pool with a vanishing edge and newly designed landscaping were installed by Jeff Carbo in 2000 as well as the gazebo, blue stone pool surround, and walk ways. The backyard is enclosed by a lovely brick and iron fence. The home features 12 ft ceilings down(except kitchen 10') For the discerning buyer seeking tranquility and history on a spacious estate, this home blends Louisiana heritage with modern comforts, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Monroe's rich past.
