Description

Spacious South Lake Charles Home on Nearly an Acre + 30x40 Shop! Welcome to this beautiful one-owner, 3-bedroom home situated on just shy of an acre south of Lake Charles! Offering a little over 2,400 sq. ft. of living space, this home provides plenty of room to spread out while enjoying the privacy and space of a large lot. The heart of the home is the large, open living area overlooking the backyard, featuring vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, built-in shelving throughout, and two sets of double glass doors providing access to the rear patio. The vaulted living and dining areas create the perfect setting for large family gatherings, entertaining, and everyday living. The spacious primary suite features a large bedroom, bathroom, and closet, along with a door providing direct access to the outdoor patio. Walk-in closets in every bedroom, along with an abundance of built-in and additional storage, make this home exceptionally functional. Additional features include a two-car garage with a separate bathroom featuring a shower, and storage area. This space is not heated or cooled, but offers convenient access from the backyard and is perfect for outdoor activities, entertaining, or guests. The backyard also includes an impressive 30’ x 40’ shop on a slab, offering endless possibilities for storage, hobbies, workshop space, or a man cave/she shed. The roof was replaced following the 2020 hurricanes, and the three large living room windows were recently replaced in 2026. Located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is typically not required. Nearly an acre, spacious living, incredible storage, and a huge shop—this South Lake Charles property offers the space and versatility you’ve been looking for! Smaller portable storage shed is not included in sale, and will be moved prior to act of sale. Owner reserves contents of shop, curtains, rods, refrigerator, washer/dryer and freezers. ALL Measurements +/-.
