201 W Berard Street

Description

Step into history at 201 W. Berard Street! With its spacious layout and historic charm, it offers endless possibilities--it could serve as a residence, an office space, or even a bed and breakfast. Built in 1849 by William Eastin, this 4-bed, 1.5-bath home marries Acadian and Greek Revival architecture on an acre corner lot in the heart of St. Martinville. Its prime location offers convenience being only a .4 mile walk from the town square where you'll find St. Martin De Tours Church, the Evangeline Oak, the Bayou Teche, the Acadian Memorial Museum, coffee shops, restaurants, and more. Crafted from locally sourced materials, including brick, mortar from the Bayou Teche, and native cypress wood, this home exudes authenticity and character. A white picket fence and brick walkway welcome you to the expansive front porch, where a set of unique, dual cypress doors open to reveal an over sized hallway with Victorian wallpaper lined walls, a timeless chandelier and, what is thought to be, the original wood floors that continue into most of the home. Throughout the home, fireplaces add warmth and character to each room. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms await, showcasing the potential for restored tongue and groove ceiling beneath the ceiling tiles. Outside, there is a wooden garage that provides ample space for parking a boat, ATV, or serving as extra storage. You'll also find a cellar and a storage shed with an attached chicken coop in need of a little TLC to restore it into the lively chicken coop you've been dreaming of. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of history. Schedule your showing today!
