About This Home

Nestled in a well sought-after area of St. Charles Parish, this inviting property is full of character and opportunity. With flexible living spaces and the potential for the loft and guest house to provide additional income, this is a wonderful opportunity for an investor to add to their portfolio or a buyer looking for a home they can make their own. In addition to the three living spaces on one lot, the property also features double driveways offering ample parking. The main home has 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms with an open-concept kitchen and living area, where wood ceilings create a warm, welcoming feel and allow for easy gathering around the large island. A spacious 32' x 7' porch adds to the charm of the main house and offers a relaxing place to enjoy the outdoors. The upstairs loft has its own separate entrance and was previously rented out. Its many skylights bring in abundant natural light, while the window unit keeps the space cool in the Louisiana heat. Additional loft features include a kitchenette and full bathroom. Outside, the backyard is enhanced by a beautiful mature tree and a picturesque brick walking path leading to the guest house, adding to the property’s special appeal. The detached 1-bedroom guest house includes a full bath, full kitchen, double closets for extra storage, and its own A/C unit to keep you comfortable during the warmer months. Its enclosed porch provides the perfect spot to enjoy the backyard scenery year-round. An unfinished 12' x 10' shed already wired for electrical offers even more potential for storage, a workshop, or future use. While the property does need some updates, it is filled with potential for someone ready to restore its charm and add value. Note: The square footage indicated is as follows: Main Home: 1,496 sq ft Loft: 277 sq ft Guest House: 600 sq ft Sellers recognize the work needed and have priced the property accordingly.
