A Home Waiting for Its Next Chapter 🏛️
Built in 1895, this is not just a house—it’s a restoration opportunity with a story already written into its walls.
And the best part?
Much of that story is still intact.
First Impression: Pure Southern Drama
Before you even step inside:
• A striking circular front portico
• Framed by grand columns
• Topped with an upper balcony
It’s the kind of entrance you don’t just walk through—you arrive.
Original Character Still Alive
Inside, history reveals itself in quiet but powerful ways:
• The original Prescott family crest above the fireplace
• Rooms that have hosted decades of gatherings
• Warm, lived-in spaces filled with personality
This isn’t staged history—it’s real, layered, and personal.
Layout & Space
• 4 large bedrooms
• 3 bathrooms
• Spacious living and dining areas
• Sunlit attic space with potential for expansion or a private retreat
Plenty of room to reimagine while preserving the past.
Structural Updates (Already Started)
✔ New architectural shingle roof (2017)
✔ Upstairs HVAC (2019)
✔ New hot water heater (2025)
⚠️ First-floor HVAC needs replacement
👉 The foundation is there—you bring the vision.
Exterior Character
• Traditional cypress “Shreveport siding”
• Durable, historic material rarely seen today
• Recently maintained and painted
The Opportunity 💡
Let’s be honest—this isn’t a turnkey home.
✔ It needs updates
✔ It needs restoration
✔ It needs someone who gets it
But in return?
👉 You get a 3,700+ sq ft historic home for $66/sqft
That’s where the real upside is.
Who This Is For
This home is perfect if you:
✔ Love historic architecture
✔ See potential where others see work
✔ Want to create something truly unique
Final Thought
Some homes are finished.
Others are waiting to be brought back to life.
This one?
👉 It’s a project… but also a legacy.
