Property Description
Introducing The Crawford House -- a rare opportunity to own a piece of Louisiana history in the heart of Washington. Built in 1850 by steamboat captain James Wilson, this striking home blends Victorian elegance with Acadian charm, creating a timeless presence beneath a canopy of mature oak trees.Captain William Crawford, also a retired steamboat captain, purchased the property in 1864. Over the next 80 years, the Crawford family became a cornerstone of the community, opening a grocery store, saloon, and ice house in town. Today, The Crawford House remains a proud reflection of that legacy.Situated on nearly an acre, this historic gem offers over 3,000 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, multiple sitting areas, and fireplaces throughout--including a beautiful double-sided hearth that adds warmth and character. Nearly every interior doorway features elegant French doors adorned with porcelain knobs, and the home's original wavy glass windows offer both charm and authenticity, filling each room with soft, natural light. The wide front porch, a true Southern dream, invites slow mornings and quiet evenings alike.Historic homes in Washington rarely come to market--especially one with such rich heritage, architectural beauty, and livable charm. This is your chance to become a steward of a truly exceptional property.
