Property Description
COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL - Step back in time with modern comfort right in the heart of Rayne! Built in 1875, this stunning 6-bedroom, 3-bath home blends timeless Southern charm with thoughtful modern updates across 5,290 square feet of living space. Situated on 0.4 beautifully landscaped acres in the center of Rayne, this grand residence offers the rare opportunity to live and/or work in a true piece of Louisiana history--zoned for both residential and commercial use. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by soaring 15-foot ceilings, 12-foot cypress doors, transoms above the doorways, and not one but five ventless natural gas fireplaces. The home's thoughtful layout includes four spacious bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs--ideal for multi-generational living or a flexible office setup. The formal parlor and separate courting parlor evoke a bygone era of elegance, while the primary suite feels like its own private wing, complete with a fireplace, pocket doors, and an oversized walk-in closet. The updated kitchen boasts commercial porcelain tile, a farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry, and modern conveniences like a tankless water heater and high-speed internet. Outside, the lush, flower-filled landscaping surrounds a saltwater pool with LED lighting and a hot tub to provide your private oasis in the center of town. Other updates include updated wiring and plumbing, natural gas service, and a newer roof. Whether you're looking for a distinguished residence, a unique commercial property, or both, this one-of-a-kind historic home delivers. Owner is also offering lease purchase as a financing option!
