Property Description
Introducing Wren House, circa 1875, nestled in the historic Town of Washington, Louisiana. This award-winning home received the Preservationists of St. Landry honor in 2018 after a major renovation that breathed new life into the property. Thoughtful updates preserved historic details while seamlessly incorporating modern materials that echo the home's original architecture. Inside this charming Acadian-style residence, custom cabinetry and built-ins crafted from original cypress boards honor the home's history. Quartz countertops in the kitchen, laundry room, and primary bathroom offer a durable, low-maintenance, elegant finish that complements the timeless character throughout. The home was redesigned for energy efficiency, featuring low-E double-pane windows, open-cell foam insulation, and a solar system with Tesla Powerwall battery backup--helping keep energy bills modest while maintaining year-round comfort. A lifetime metal roof, updated electrical and plumbing, and a new HVAC system were all installed in 2018. An inviting 350 sq ft screened porch with a skylight extends your living space outdoors, creating a perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. A newly constructed outbuilding offers a large carport and a 480 sq ft climate-controlled space with a full bathroom and existing hookups--ideal for a guest suite, studio, or potential income-producing rental. This property also features a thoughtfully designed garden and is recognized as a Louisiana Certified Habitat, showcasing the use of native plants that support birds and pollinators. Located about 30 minutes North on I-49 from the culture, events, and amenities of Lafayette, Wren House also enjoys a prime in-town location. You're just steps away from the acclaimed Steamboat Warehouse Restaurant and the Portrait Lounge in the restored Klaus Hotel, with Bayou Cortableau, Ethel Park, and the Antique School Mall all within walking distance.
