This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Monroe features reclaimed architectural details, a separate room currently used as an office, and three fireplaces-including a custom arched masonry fireplace in the back courtyard. An extra-wide front porch and brick-lined walkway lead to the custom arched front door. Inside, distressed hardwood flooring runs throughout, with ceilings reaching 12 feet in the center of the home and 10 feet along the exterior walls. Solid wood doors sourced from the Baton Rouge Federal Office building and two 10-foot doors from New Orleans architectural salvage shop The Bank give the home a distinctive architectural history. Two oversized gas fireplaces and crystal chandeliers carry that character into the gathering spaces. The kitchen offers ceiling-height cabinetry and a 10-foot wood bar topped with black marble with white veining. Four French lanterns hang above the bar, with fixed iron swivel stools providing seating. Two dishwashers flank the white ceramic farmhouse sink overlooking the courtyard, and an oversized stainless refrigerator/freezer combination adds to the kitchen's functionality. Marble finishes continue through the bathrooms and utility room, with black-and-white octagonal tile in two bathrooms. One wing includes zero-clearance showers and an extra-wide doorway. A floored attic with built-in shelving provides additional storage. Outside, the courtyard fireplace creates a setting for meals, conversation, and evenings outdoors. Parking includes two enclosed garage spaces and one open covered space. Schedule your showing to explore the home's architectural details and indoor and outdoor gathering areas.
