500 Jefferson St Unit 1

About This Home

Perched above the heart of downtown, on the second floor of the iconic Old Guaranty Bank Building, this rare 2-bedroom, 2-bath furnished penthouse offers a front-row seat to Jefferson Street with unmatched privacy and exclusivity, complete with a private entrance and gated parking. Built in 1905 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this architecturally significant Colonial Revival landmark blends historic character with elevated modern living. Inside, soaring ceilings and oversized windows frame downtown views while exposed brick walls add warmth and authenticity. The expansive living area is ideal for entertaining or relaxing above the energy of the city. The gourmet kitchen is designed for serious cooking and hosting, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, built-in ice machine, 6-burner gas stove, double ovens, grill, and a large walk-in pantry. There's an in-unit laundry room for convenience. The primary suite delivers a spa-like experience with a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower with seating, and an oversized walk-in closet that truly impresses. From your windows, enjoy a true front-row seat to Mardi Gras and Festival International, all while being just upstairs from Ton's and steps away from downtown's best dining and events. This is more than a furnished lease--it's an opportunity to live in one of Lafayette's most storied buildings with luxury, history, and culture right outside your door.
