Property Description

Presenting one of the oldest and most distinguished Creole Cottages in the region, this exceptional residence, built in 1852 by Henry March, is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Elevated approximately eight feet above ground level, the home exudes classic charm and offers an impressive view of the surrounding neighborhood. The inviting curb appeal leads to a full-length front porch—ideal for enjoying a good book on a swing or conversing with neighbors during tranquil afternoons on one of the most perfect streets in Midtown, South Lafayette Street. Inside, the home features a traditional central hall layout. The formal living and dining rooms are to the right, accompanied by a convenient half-bath. The expansive Primary Suite occupies the entire left side of the home and includes a spacious walk-in closet, along with a luxurious bathroom featuring a stainless steel circular soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Notable interior features include soaring ceilings, original wide-planked heart pine floors, substantial moldings, and three decorative fireplaces—each element contributing to the home's timeless character and architectural significance. Between the formal dining area and the newly renovated main kitchen lies a versatile butler's pantry or entertaining kitchen. This galley-style space is equipped with a full-size refrigerator, wine cooler, sink, and ample cabinetry and counter space. The main kitchen showcases white cabinetry, quartz countertops, an island, a double oven range, stylish vintage pendant lighting, and a charming breakfast nook that opens to a covered porch. Upstairs, a landing area leads to two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, tastefully updated with classic tile and a vintage-inspired clawfoot tub/shower combination. The rear of the property offers a detached carriage house, ideal for a home office or workshop. Outdoor amenities include a deck with a pergola—perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining—a fire pit area, and additional covered porch space. This truly remarkable property is a rare opportunity.
