98 Birch Drive, Lafayette, LA 70506 (MLS# 2600002332)

Located just off Johnston Street in the heart of Lafayette, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to own in a highly desirable, central location. With 1,305 square feet of living space, this property combines convenience, functionality, and long-term potential. The home is livable as-is, making it ideal for buyers looking to move in immediately while adding their own updates over time. Recent major improvements include a roof and A/C system that are only 5 years old, providing peace of mind on two of the biggest expenses. Outside, you'll find features that are hard to come by in this part of town--a large fenced-in backyard, a covered back patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and a filled-in pool area that offers flexibility for future use. The attached carport and dedicated workshop space add even more practicality, whether for storage, hobbies, or projects. Situated in Flood Zone X, this property typically does not require flood insurance, adding to its overall affordability. For buyers or investors looking to add value, this property presents a strong upside opportunity. With renovations and cosmetic updates, comparable after-repair values in the area suggest potential around the $230,000 range. With its prime location, solid structure, and unique outdoor space, this home is a compelling option for anyone looking to personalize a property in one of Lafayette's most convenient areas.
