This magazine dream cottage located in downtown Lafayette would make a great residence, mixed-use, or an investment property. The home is close to UL Lafayette and walking distance to Mardi Gras Parades, Festival International, Downtown Alive and so much more. This home has been with the original family that designed and built the home in the early 1940's. As you walk up the front steps onto the porch you will be welcomed by the newly renovated floors on the porch. As you walk through the front door you will be greeted by the original wood floors that follow you throughout the home. The first room you enter is the formal dining that opens into the living room that is adorned with a beautiful archway. Off from the living room is the Kitchen that opens to a sunroom. On the left side of the home you will find the two bedrooms that are a nice size. One of the bedrooms has a half bath that was added. In between both bedrooms you will find a full bathroom. Off from the sunroom there is a door that leads you to the covered back patio area. You can drink your coffee and listen to the birds while smelling the fresh bread being made at Evangeline Maid which is only five blocks away. There is a gate with keyed entry off the patio that is the entrance from the gravel driveway. There is also a mature fig tree in the fenced back yard that has a double gate access. The home is zoned MN-1 which is mixed use residential. If you have a small business you can use the backyard for extra parking. Schedule your showing today.
