Rare opportunity to rent a historic home on a quiet one-way street in
one of the best neighborhoods in the city with walking distant to all that Lafayette Square has to offer.
House is across the street from Lafayette Square's popular restaurants, cafes and boutique shops, and is steps away from Lafayette Park. This unique home sits on a double lot with a front and back yard garden and a rare 2 car garage.
The home dates back to the original development of the neighborhood and survived the 1896 Great Cyclone. It has been renovated multiple times throughout the years but retains many original details.
A first floor master bedroom suite was added to the home in the mid 2000's. The suite includes two closets, a laundry room with washer and dryer, and french doors to a private walled outside seating area.
The master bathroom was completely remodeled again in 2017 with a walk-in shower. The kitchen was replaced around 10 years ago and includes contemporary white cabinets and stainless steel appliances - including dishwasher.
Other 2017 renovations include two large covered cedar porches, a new cedar fence, concrete walkways, patio, retaining wall and landscaping. The first floor porch connects to the kitchen and is fully screened - so no more mosquito bites while you are enjoying
dinner or a cocktail outside. Second floor porch connects to 2nd
bedroom/office. There is a full basement with unusually high 9 foot
ceilings and a slate floor in the front room. This is a one-of-a-kind historic and charming home with many modern conveniences.
