This spotless, exquisitely maintained historic home located in historic district near Lake Charles' thriving downtown is one of those rare finds where you show up with your suitcase. It offers a new roof, solid, level foundation, new real Caribbean Pine floors throughout, fresh soft, neutral paint inside and out, all new windows, new central AC/heat with programmable thermostat and transferrable warranty, tankless gas water heater, aluminum attic ladder, totally modernized kitchen with new appliances including counter depth refrigerator, gas range, new custom soft close cabinets, beautiful granite countertops, crown molding and high ceilings. The electric panel is a GE 200 Amp panel. The half bath can easily be converted to a full bath if needed. There is a large, covered patio, a two-car carport behind a locked gate and parking for seven vehicles, yard totally fenced w. 7' wood fence, including a nice 16 x 8 storage building. The architectural touches include interior brick features, stained glass and leaded glass, abundant storage above bedroom closets, covered front porch w. high end tinted storm door where one can relax and watch the world go by or chill privately on the over-sized covered concrete patio in the back. This treasure also offers an open floor plan, high ceilings, tasteful gas log heater, large bedrooms, Jack and Jill bath, walk in pantry, and wonderful kitchen island. The property is in Flood zone X where flood insurance is typically not required and the home sits at a high elevation, well above street level. The underneath of the house is insulated and that combined with all new windows, yields energy efficiency. This property is not a flip, nor a rental, but a private residence where pride of ownership and quality of construction is so evident. It was supposed to be this owner's forever home, but an out of state move intervened.
