Property Description

Timeless Beauty in the beloved Fair Park area of Lafayette! Two beds, one full bath….Est. 1940! This is your chance to own a slice of history with this enchanting Fair Park cottage-style residence -- where old-world craftsmanship stands the test of time. From the moment of arrival on the welcoming street, there are so many touches that certainly make this property one of a kind! Stately brick stairs introduce a bold split front door as the main entrance – a solid statement door like this is very rare to find today! Then, experience a charming little foyer entryway to the most spectacular great room. This great room is a total vibe showcasing a gigantic and absolutely striking floor to ceiling brick fireplace. Vaulted and beamed white ceilings round the space out while nostalgic built-ins are available to showcase your personal trinkets and treasures. A neat exterior design twist offers an equally unique way to step inside – to the right of the main front door, you’ll enjoy a cute, smaller secondary brick porch area….This gives you entry directly into the cozy kitchen. This petite covered porch area is a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee while soaking in the neighborhood surroundings. All of these rare and beautiful elements make one thing clear — this is a property with a very cool story to tell! This is a property that makes you yearn to become part of that story! A functional 40’s floor plan coupled with original wood features prove to be a testament to over eight decades of loving care. This home speaks to a standard of craftsmanship rarely seen in modern construction. Effectively anchoring the home, the large great room will be the place people want to gather in on every occasion! The kitchen pays homage to the signature ‘40’s galley-style character, while the efficient dining room area stands ready to host holidays and gatherings for years to come! The two bedrooms are both peaceful retreats with nice, usable space. Good-sized unfinished basement with laundry area and storage space is a blank slate for you to design. The one-car garage allows easy, full access from an adjoining street, and a nicely appointed yard literally completes this entire package! Neighborhood streets are lined with homes of similar character, placing you in one of Lafayette's most established and sought after places – all centrally located and convenient to just about everything!
