Historic Home in Downtown Ruston
|
Property Description |
This house is a spacious, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Victorian home, located 7 blocks from Louisiana Tech University. The house stands on a beautiful corner lot with many, mature shade trees.
The home was originally a dog-trot style residence, which has since been modernized and renovated creating a wide corridor down the center of the home. Keeping with the dog trot style, three porches flank the home: one on the front which wraps to the side screened porch with access to the kitchen, and the third is a screened porch overlooking the back yard.
This home has seen many improvements in the past few years. Ceramic floors are throughout the kitchen, master bath, and rear hallways. The master bath has new appliances. Drywall has been added in many areas of the house, as well as moulding and new ceilings.
The spaciousness of this home has always been the best part, making it great for entertaining or creating many intimate spaces. All rooms stem off the main hallway through the middle of the house. On the right are the living room, the kitchen, and the master bedroom. To the left are the dining room, Bedroom 1, Bath 2, and Bedroom 3. Also, through the master bedroom is access to the Master Bath and onward to the very large laundry room and storage room.
The yard has also seen extensive landscaping work done over the past few years. A pull through driveway was installed connecting the two corner streets and adding parking access to the rear entry. A privacy fence was installed in the back yard. The grass cover has been reestablished and doctored back to good health and irrigation control was installed in the back yard also. Shrubs and hedges have been planted around the front of the home. And a fresh coat of paint was applied just one year ago to protect the home.
A neighboring history professor has dated the original structure of the home to the turn of the 20th century and has said it was the first home to be built in Ruston with both electricity and plumbing installed. As if the character of the home was not enough, there is a historical significance to it also. This house has been well maintained throughout the past 100 years and care has been put in to each renovation project that has occurred to maintain the original charm of the home.
