Farquhard Chauvin Home – A Timeless Treasure in the Heart of Houma Located in the Downtown Historical District and believed to be one of the oldest homes in Houma, the Farcquhard Chauvin Home has been fully restored to preserve its original charm, elegance, and craftsmanship. Built in the 1820s and relocated to its current site in 1904 by Alcide Bonvillian—former resident of Ridgeland Plantation, also currently owned by the seller—this home is a rare blend of history and modern convenience. Its central location in the Heart of Houma offers unbeatable walkability to local favorites like Ember Kitchen, Christiano Ristorante, and Spigot’s Brew Pub. Coffee shops, ice cream parlors, boutique shopping, downtown festivals, and nightlife are all just steps away. Situated just one block off the par ade route, the home is an ideal spot for entertaining during Mardi Gras and other holiday parades. The home’s proximity to St. Francis de Sales Cathedral makes it perfect for those wishing to walk to church or school. It's also just 0.6 miles (about a 3-minute drive) to Terrebonne General Health System—ideal for medical professionals needing quick access to the hospital. This Acadian-style 4-bedroom, 4-bath home gracefully merges its original 1820s structure with early 1900s additions, including a kitchen, dining room, and extra living space. It retains original oak and cypress flooring and features an authentic staircase. The fourth bedroom, located on the ground floor, is currently used as an office. All four bathrooms boast marble flooring. The master suite features a custom marble shower and soaking tub, while the guest bath showcases a vintage clawfoot tub. The modern kitchen opens to a casual living area and is adjacent to the formal dining space. Highlights include a six-burner Wolf gas stove with double oven and grill, and a striking Blue Bahia granite island imported from Brazil. Contact listing agent for full description of renovations. Also features 60kw generator.
