Nestled away under a majestic oak in historic downtown Thibodaux is the charming home of Lance Ledet and Dr. Channing Parfait. The historic home was built in the early 1900s. The traditionally styled home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Although the home is more than 100 years old, there are many original features such as high baseboards, transoms on tops of door frames, and some original door knobs. The homeowners moved into the home in 2021. The home underwent an extensive renovation for two months. All of the walls were repainted, floors refinished with a darker wood stain, and the primary bathroom was completely renovated with a new walk-in shower, marble tile, and textured walls by a local artist. The guest bathroom was also renovated with a new lavatory and green shower tiles.
The historic home has three fireplaces, two of which are believed to be original to the home. The fireplace in the sitting room was recently remodeled with new marble and custom shelves were built on each side. All of the fireplaces are coal burning. There are wood floors throughout the home. The kitchen was also renovated to have the same Italian porcelain tile throughout the kitchen and sunroom, as well as new countertops and tile backsplash.
“The sunroom and kitchen are connected spaces that are the true gathering space of the home,” shared Lance. “Any time there is a party, families and friends tend to gravitate toward the sunroom because of all of the natural light and views of the gardens.”
“The foyer (although it’s really in the middle of the home) is a favorite,” explained Lance. “It was outfitted with new black and gold wallpaper and the ceiling in the foyer was completed with champagne tarnished silverleaf.”
