Welcome to the historic Rucker House, a true 1900 hurricane survivor. Built by George Stowe, this Victorian home floated to Sacred Heart Church during the Great Storm before being moved back to its original Lost Bayou location. Known as the last home built before the storm, it has been beautifully restored and updated by Crow Construction, offering both historic charm and modern convenience.
This fully furnished, 4-bed, 4-bath home is shaded by two grand oak trees and features a manicured yard with French drains, and a new fence/gate. Inside, enjoy restored hardwood floors and trim, new sheetrock, fresh interior and exterior paint, all-new electrical, PEX plumbing, and ductwork. The contemporary remodel includes a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, marble countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, plus updated bathrooms with new fixtures, tubs, showers, & toilets. Additional upgrades include a new upstairs HVAC and furnace, a stackable washer/dryer, and a new front sidewalk.
