Property Description
Tucked beneath the shade of towering oaks on historic Grolee Street, this Acadian-style cottage welcomes you with the timeless charm of Southern living and the craftsmanship of a home designed with heart.From the moment you arrive, the front porch sets the tone--inviting yet unpretentious, framed with delicate woodwork and softened by hanging ferns swaying gently in the breeze. Inside, the home offers two bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and approximately 1,700 square feet of warmth and comfort, filled with character and soul. The great room boasts a striking vaulted ceiling and a cozy fireplace, perfect for gathering with loved ones during cooler evenings. The remodeled kitchen, complete with an open dining area, seamlessly blends style and functionality, making it a delightful space for culinary adventures and shared meals.But the magic truly unfolds out back. Step into the sunroom--where large openings invite in the Louisiana breeze--and let the pace of life slow to a whisper. Just beyond, the expansive backyard feels like a secret garden, with a small pond featuring a cascading waterfall casting a peaceful rhythm over the lush greenery. The large back patio, with vibrant garden, is the perfect spot for entertaining friends or relaxing after a long day.For those who dream of working with their hands, there's a rare find here: a 30x50 workshop, designed for woodworking and built for purpose. The current owner crafted furniture here--filling the space with the scent of fresh-cut lumber and the quiet satisfaction of a project well made.Situated on sought-after Grolee Street in Opelousas, this home offers the serenity of a tucked-away retreat with all the conveniences of town just minutes away. Shops, restaurants, and community staples are close enough to reach with ease--but far enough to leave behind when you close the gate and settle in.This isn't just a place to live. It's a place to make, to rest, to dream--and to call home.
