The Beatty-Ponton House welcomes its next owners! This carefully preserved historical gem is a recipient of the Calcasieu Preservation Society's "Landmark Award" and was built in 1896 of virgin long-leaf pine and cypress. Come and see this gorgeous exterior, architecturally classified as a Queen Ann Raised Cottage, whose beauty speaks for itself. Historical charm continues in the home's interior with 13.5 ft ceilings throughout, gleaming wood floors, 25 large windows (so much natural light) and transoms over every original door, not to mention its well crafted built-ins, hardware and light fixtures! Modern and luxurious amenities are not lost on 917 S Division with its updated bathrooms and fabulous kitchen, featuring beautiful countertops, backsplash and stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf Brand gas range/oven! Enjoy company in the home's many entertainment areas, or relax on the front porch or grill and entertain on the expansive back deck! Don't forget to check out the mini bar! Detached carport offers two vehicle covered parking in addition to a spacious storage room. It goes without saying that the neighborhood features some of the city's oldest live oaks as does this home along with mature cypress trees! Adding to the already stunning curb appeal, a lovely wrought iron fence with electric gate adds extra elegance and functionality! Book your showing today! Home located in Charpentier Historic District! All measurements are more or less. Flood Zone X!
