Conveniently located just minutes from Downtown Lafayette and UL Lafayette, this home offers a desirable location, functional layout, and an opportunity to make it your own. Priced to reflect its current condition, it gives the next owner the chance to enjoy the same sought-after location and floor plan while adding their own personal style. Inside, the open and functional design features quartz countertops, strand-woven bamboo flooring, clean modern lines, and thoughtful storage throughout. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each feature a private full bathroom, while a convenient half bath is located downstairs. The fenced backyard and outdoor entertaining area offer a great space to relax, entertain, or enjoy your own private outdoor setting with minimal upkeep. A brand-new A/C unit was installed in September 2026, providing added comfort and peace of mind for the next owner. One of the home's greatest advantages is the opportunity to personalize it. The current condition and attractive price point allow the next owner to select their own paint colors and finishes and create a style that feels uniquely theirs, rather than paying a premium for someone else's design choices. N-1 zoning adds even more flexibility, including potential for short-term rental use, making this property an appealing option for both owner-occupants and investors. Whether you're looking for a home close to UL Lafayette and Downtown, a low-maintenance property, or an investment opportunity, this home offers location, flexibility, and room to make it your own. Come see the possibilities!
