Located deep in the thick swamps of southern Louisiana where nothing stays buried for long sits this Victorian gem that’s dilapidated in just the right way. Here you get insane stained glass windows, plaster medallions, original wood shutters, and views of the Mississippi River from the 3rd-floor window. And check out the ultra spooky attic!

Here’s the realtor’s description.
“MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION! HIGHLY MOTIVATED SELLER. It is an honor and a privilege to bring this elegant Victorian to market! Located in the Historic District of Plaquemine, this Outstanding near time capsule property has had the same careful custodian of ownership since 1968. The time has come for its next keeper. Tremendous original details still present in this home including plaster medallions in almost every room, plaster frieze work and crown, hardwood floors, walk through windows with original wood shutters, abundant stained glass, multiple fireplaces and ornate mantles throughout. First floor has 10′ ceilings with main bedroom, sitting room and bath as well as public rooms and kitchen. Second floor features a center hall with additional bedrooms, second bath and 14′ ceiling height! Wrap around porches accessed by walk through win-doors, with intact original bracketing and trim work, views from the 3rd floor of the Mississippi River and a panoramic view from the 3rd floor accessible widows walk! Property also includes a detached historic carriage house with previous keepers’ room above. Shade trees and native Louisiana plantings on the grounds. An amazing property for the right person to elevate, preserve, and protect.”
