Property Description
Built in 1899 with thoughtful additions over the years, this remarkable American Center Hall home is a testament to enduring craftsmanship and timeless architecture. Located in the heart of Carencro, it offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and convenience--within walking distance to local restaurants, churches, schools, and shops.Inside, the home's heritage shines through at every turn. Original sidelights, refinished doors and hardware restored in New Orleans, and handcrafted tiger-stripe and ball-tip hinges highlight the attention to detail and preservation that make this property truly special. Light filters through custom stained glass, created in the 1980s by a former professor and past owner, filling the home with warmth and color. Subtle Victorian influences can be seen throughout, adding an extra layer of character to its historic design.With high ceilings, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light, the residence feels open and inviting. Additions made in 1922 and an upstairs expansion in the 1990s provide flexibility for modern living while maintaining the integrity of the original design. The upstairs addition includes an efficiency apartment with its own private exterior entrance--ideal for guests, extended family, or a potential short-term rental. The property also features a 22-gauge commercial metal roof for durability and efficiency.This historic property offers endless potential--ideal for use as a private residence or a distinctive commercial space.
