Fixer-Upper with Big Dreams in South Lake Charles. Located on a spacious .63-acre lot in desirable South Lake Charles, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a flex space offers an excellent opportunity for buyers with vision and a sense of possibility. While it may be best described as a “fixer-upper”, the potential here is undeniable - and so is the charm waiting to be uncovered. The generous lot provides ample room for outdoor living, future additions, or simply enjoying a little extra elbow room. Situated in a sought-after school district, the location checks an important box for both homeowners and investors alike. This is the kind of property that rewards creativity, planning, and perhaps a well-stocked toolbox. With the right touch, it could transform from “needs work” to “worth the work.” A promising canvas in a great area, ready for its next chapter. Flood zone AE but the home has never flooded.
