About this home

This is an original raised Louisiana Creole house built in the late 19th century and moved to its current location in 1985. Famed architect A. Hayes Town designed an addition with 2 primary bedrooms and baths walking out onto a shared balcony overlooking Bayou Fountain. The main house is made of Cypress and contains many of its original mud and moss over stakes walls (bousillage). .. . and is held together with pegs, not nails. The attic contains a Norman truss and the roof is split cedar shingles. The floor plan is typical of Creole vernacular architecture with rooms arranged side by side and no corridors. The house has double sided fireplaces, 10.5 foot ceilings, odd planked cypress board floors. The dining room, living room and original bedroom have wood board ceilings and easy access to the kitchen. You'll relax when you climb the front steps and take a deep breath to enjoy the ambiance of this historical home on The National Register. (See attachments for survey and more historical data) This house would make an awesome AirBnB as well. The ADJACENT LOT is available to the purchaser of this home.
