ANTIQUE! DOWNTOWN HOUMA!! ORIGINAL, charming, nostalgic + Classic 1916 home located in the heart of Houma's Downtown Historic District! This property is a "must see to appreciate". Original hardwood floors, wood windows & solid REAL wood doors with transom make this unique in every way imaginable. Built in archway with display cabinet is one of the many fine, custom, hand-made details. I absolutely fell in love with this home when i walked through the front door, it melted my heart! I felt the memories of everything I did not even know about this home. True story. Then years later my story changed and this house became not practical for me and my famly anymore, unfortunately. The many windows give a 360° view of surroundings. Bathroom w extra large clawfoot tub is a spa retreat as You soak up the beautiful yard view anytime, day or night. Bead board & shiplap. If walls could talk! These are still standing! Every detail of this home is shown through great craftsmanship. Looking for a new owner who can give this house some much needed updates...some one who appreciates it as is but can see the possibilities! After all to be over a hundred years old and still standing strong is enough said. Impossible to build such a structure today. The floor plan was definitely well thought of, it just makes sense. This house goes with the flow, of family that is....connecting two front bedrooms & all 3 bedrooms have 3 doors! Super kool!! Front bedroom has an outside front porch door entrance as well. So many windows for the sun lover ?? Leaving a very old, heavy piano I brought here in living room which became the TV stand. Kitchen needs new cabinets so a kitchen remodel will be considered in selling price, as in any other furnishings. A tree lovers paradise! Birds galore!! Our large family of rescued animals love this property! Mature trees!! Large double lot has an abundance of fruit & citrus trees, such as mandarin, sweets & blood orange, lime, lemon, fig, Japan plum, pear, mulberry producing organic, natural goodness! Tropical & aestect plants, including bamboo, ginger, jasmine, sweet olive, bay leaf, rosemary & more. Huge, spacious lot offers plenty of room for animals & gardening. Plant your seeds and watch them grow. Aluminum siding on home. Yard is fenced. This is not your ordinary property in the downtown area. A detached old schoolhouse (large wood building on cement slab with a shingle roof just as house w lots of windows & doors and electrical outlets, also has 220 outlet) offers much extra space for almost anything You can think of! This place hosts the laundry station, water heater and offers a toilet w sink, a half bath outside of the home. Much more living space if You need it or a nice rental unit in such high demand, especially this area of Terrebonne Parish. Both home & detached building have very large attic. Also a carport and a garden shed are in the far backyard and are the perfect storage/workshop area. A cute birdhouse/aviary/coop was built on ground for my feathered babies and it would be very hard to move so i would like to leave it, would make the perfect greenhouse, honestly! Biking & walking to local shops, stores, hospitals, doctor's offices, attorney's offices, restaurants, bars, festivals & churches are enjoyable! No flood zone. Serious inquiries only please, No lease or rent. Appointment only! 985-688-3313
