Looking for a truly special home instead of another cookie-cutter listing? Step into Wren House in historic Washington, Louisiana🔥
205 W CARRIERE Street, Washington, Louisiana 70589📍
▪️ Circa 1875 Acadian-style home honored with the Preservationists of St. Landry award in 2018 after a major, historically sensitive renovation.
▪️ Original character preserved with custom cabinetry and built-ins crafted from reclaimed cypress boards from the home itself.
▪️ Quartz countertops in the kitchen, laundry, and primary bath for a durable, low-maintenance, and timelessly elegant finish.
▪️ Thoughtfully redesigned for energy efficiency: low-E double-pane windows, open-cell foam insulation, and solar with Tesla Powerwall battery backup to help keep energy bills modest and comfort steady year-round.
▪️ Peace-of-mind updates completed in 2018: lifetime metal roof, updated electrical and plumbing, and a new HVAC system.
▪️ 350 sq ft screened porch with skylight that lives like an outdoor living room—perfect for coffee at sunrise and wine at sunset.
▪️ Newly built outbuilding with large carport and a 480 sq ft climate-controlled space with full bathroom and existing hookups—ideal as a guest suite, studio, or potential income-producing rental.
▪️ Thoughtfully designed garden recognized as a Louisiana Certified Habitat, planted with natives that support birds and pollinators.
▪️ Prime in-town location: just steps from 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.
▪️ About 30 minutes north of Lafayette via I-49, keeping you close to culture, restaurants, and events while enjoying the charm of a small historic town.
If you’ve been waiting for a historic home that’s already been lovingly updated and truly move-in ready, Wren House might be the one.
