From the Zillow listing:
Own a piece of History in Beautiful Downtown Columbia!! When Captain Blanks built this home in 1890 out of solid heart pine, he included enduring details like the paddle wheel ceiling design in the dining room, the massive porches on both soaring stories, two staircases, and a grand attic space with an exterior landing. Updates in the 50`s under the current family include beautifully maintained Chambers kitchen appliances and an industrial sized cast iron kitchen sink. Proving that old is new again, the galley kitchen includes open shelving, and a shiplap ceiling, and the second floor offers another kitchen with a range, sink, and open counter for serving or eating. The original wood windows open to views of the gardens as well as a greenhouse, and the crawlspace under the home houses a root cellar once accessible from the home`s interior. A recent update includes a tankless hot water system. With 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half baths, there’s plenty of space for a large family and guests!! Sitting on approximately .8 of an acre within blocks of the Ouachita River, this home reflects Louisiana’s Rich Southern Culture!! Call today for your appointment..
