    What's special

    Nestled in the heart of the Charpentier Historic District and just moments away from historic Downtown Lake Charles, this meticulously remodeled 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom 1925 home is a seamless blend of modern luxury and old world charm. From top to bottom, every inch has been thoughtfully renovated, sparing no expense to restore the homes unique character. Original refinished wood floors, shiplap, 9-foot ceilings, some featuring tongue-and-groove stained wood, and stained paneled rooms have been beautifully preserved. Stunning trim and intricate woodwork throughout. While honoring its past, the home boasts a 2021 roof, new HVAC, plumbing, and updated electrical systems, ensuring comfort and peace of mind. The kitchen is a home chef's dream, featuring wall-to-wall cabinets that provide an abundance of storage space. The large kitchen island is perfect for entertaining and crafting gourmet meals. Start your day with a cup of brew from your very own coffee bar (who needs Starbucks?!) before heading out to a serene, tucked-away back patio, a perfect oasis for relaxation. The master suite is a must-see, combining historic charm with modern luxury and offering a space that exudes both comfort and style. The downstairs features a guest bathroom with 2 additional bedrooms, boasting shiplap and the most beautifully refinished paneling. Take the perfectly restored staircase to the second floor for two more bedrooms each with their own surprise features. From reading nooks to built-ins to window seats...each room is its own private retreat. A third bathroom also graces the second story for added convenience. This home invites you to experience timeless beauty with modern amenities, all in a neighborhood steeped in history. Measurements are approximate; buyer to verify. Home is located in flood zone x (thats the good one!)
