About This Home

If you've been looking for a historic home in Alexandria's Garden District and want something truly different, 2129 Jackson Street deserves a look. Originally built in 1884 along Bayou Rapides, this historic farmhouse was carefully moved, restored and renovated in 2006 and now sits on a prominent corner at Jackson and Chester with just over half an acre, a welcoming front porch and beautiful historic character. Currently configured as a professional office, the property offers approximately 1,944 heated square feet and 2,342 square feet under roof, with a layout that could transition beautifully back to residential living or offer an interesting live/work opportunity where permitted. Inside, you'll find wood floors, tall ceilings, generously sized rooms and the architectural details that make historic homes so special. Spaces currently used as reception, offices and exam rooms offer plenty of possibilities for living rooms, dining space, bedrooms, a home office or other uses. There is already a kitchenette and full bathroom, and the finished upstairs provides additional flexible space. The property also offers something that's especially valuable with a Garden District home: more than half an acre and abundant off-street parking. There is a 2-car carport, additional driveway and uncovered parking, and extra storage in the carport attic. For someone who loves historic architecture, front-porch living and the character of Alexandria's Garden District, this is an opportunity to take a beautifully restored 1884 farmhouse and make it home again. The property is zoned residential with an office overlay and is currently configured for professional use.
