107 Lejeune St New Roads, LA 70760

Nestled in the historic heart of New Roads, this ¼ acre property, comprised of two lots, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage--the c.1950 house is exquisitely renovated to provide contemporary comforts, and the generous landscape is thoughtfully designed for outdoor living in a private garden setting. The property's special character also draws from its location on the narrow, quiet LeJeune Street and its adjacent to the historic LeJeune house and gardens, including views of its majestic 400-year-old Live Oak tree. The charming 2-bedroom, 2 bath home balances historic character with contemporary luxury. In the 1,200 square feet of living area the electrical, gas, and water systems that support the house and the property have been updated to contemporary standards. The special character of the interior of the house derives from the original 32 windows that bring abundant light into every room and connect the indoors with the outdoors; from the warmth of the oak wood floors; and from the spacious open floor plan of the living and dining area with the adjacent renovated kitchen. Outdoors, the spaciousness afforded by two contiguous lots has been seized to develop a garden that offers privacy and intimacy for a variety of activities. Together, the house and garden elicit a feeling of serenity. The property's prime location in the town's historic district places you within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions along Main Street, while providing a peaceful and private residential setting.
