We purchased this house about 20 years ago and it served as my husband's law office until he recently joined a firm. We love the property and the location so we decided to keep it and turn it back into a house, use it when we want to stay in Lake Charles and the rent it as a bed and breakfast the rest of the time. We repainted walls, put in all new doors, new counters in both bathrooms, new sink and tub in one of the bathrooms. All the furnishings, linens, dishes, cooking items, etc are brand new! It is such a great location very centrally located to everything in Lake Charles. It is a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood. The businesses that are located near us are quiet businesses (Medical supplies and Insurance Agency) who operate Monday-Friday, 8:00 - 5:00. Never in the evenings, never on the weekends. There is some daytime noise from I-210, but there very little traffic on College St or I-210 in the evenings or at night. When we don't have it rented we will stay here sometimes when we go to events in town (since we live about 30 minutes from Lake Charles), so I can verify that noise is very minimal.
Inside, there are 3 bedrooms that will comfortably sleep 6. In addition, there are 2 separate living areas that can be completely closed off for privacy and used for sleeping (I provide 2 Queen size air mattresses).
In one of the living areas is a "business center" that has a computer, printer and office supplies if someone is travelling for business.
There is a very large backyard (including a fenced in area that is specifically set up as a doggy yard, complete with a dog house!). There is tons of parking in the front & back. Back concreted area can double as a "basketball area" as well. There is also a 2 car covered carport, patio area with a table, umbrella, chairs and a BBQ grill.
This property suffered substantial damage in Hurricane Laura and has been completely renovated with new flooring, cabinets, walls, etc.
