About this home
Own Downtown Lake Charles HISTORY ~ Perkins-Duhon House | Circa 1893 The Perkins-Duhon House (c.1893) stands as a beautifully preserved example of late-19th-century architecture, thoughtfully restored and modernized while honoring its historic character. Originally built in 1893 and comprehensively updated in 2009, the home received extensive upgrades including all new wiring, plumbing, insulation, HVAC (variable unit), fixtures, and appliances. Architectural shingles were replaced in 2020. Foam insulation is installed in the attic, exterior walls, and under the home, with additional sound-insulated plumbing upstairs. The striking façade features ornate Victorian detailing, a wraparound porch, and a distinctive upper balcony—creating a presence well-suited for both residential enjoyment and a potential professional setting. Inside, original hardwood floors extend throughout the main living areas, complemented by slate tile in the kitchen, tile in bathrooms and utility spaces, and laminate flooring in the back room. Custom cabinetry is featured throughout the home, including the kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, and utility room. The kitchen offers a built-in wet bar, raised snack bar with storage, built-in wine glass cabinetry with glass doors, two wine coolers, walk-in pantry, breakfast area, and concealed TV hookup inside an upper cabinet. Appliances include a downdraft system (new Dec 2022), ice maker (new Jan 2022), wine coolers (approx. 2018), freezer (approx. 2018), and stove and oven installed in 2009. Granite countertops extend through both the kitchen and dining room. Architectural features throughout include triple-stacked crown molding downstairs, double-stacked baseboards throughout, custom fleur-de-lis rosettes, and cypress tongue-and-groove ceilings with crown molding in the kitchen, upstairs bedroom, and both bathrooms. Natural gas fireplace inserts are located in the dining room and an upstairs bedroom. The upstairs primary bathroom includes dual custom granite sinks, an electric wall heater, two-person air tub, custom slate shower with three body sprays, separate water closet, and wall-mounted TV hookup. The upstairs primary closet features two built-in chests of drawers and a built-in jewelry cabinet. The downstairs primary bathroom includes built-in cabinetry, a large built-in soaking tub, and wall-mounted TV hookup. The utility room offers a built-in folding table and generator hookup plug. Located in downtown Lake Charles near the courthouse, central business district, and major thoroughfares, with convenient access to I-10, this property presents an opportunity for residential living or adaptive use, subject to buyer verification and any required approvals. A rare offering combining documented historic character, modern infrastructure, and a highly functional location!...
