Something truly special is about to open its doors...
A hand-crafted staircase. A hidden cubby under the stairs. Original brick paths that have quietly welcomed generations. Solar-powered, story-filled, and lovingly restored—this home is unlike anything else on the market.
For over 100 years, it’s been held by the same family. While it's made a few appearances on holiday tours, this weekend marks the first time it's being offered for private showings to prospective buyers.
If you’ve been waiting for the one—watch this space.
📆 Showings begin this weekend.
Details coming soon.

A Louisiana College graduate with a degree in History and Spanish and the former owner of a local small business, I specialize in the sale of residential and commercial historic properties in the Central Louisiana area.
I am known for outstanding client service, being available and responsive to my clients, innovative marketing techniques, and as a skilled negotiator. I enjoy educating my clients on every step of the real estate process and giving them detailed market insight, so that they may make the best decisions possible. I am honest and able to give you the straight forward truth that is sometimes hard to hear. I am a hard working, full-time agent who is constantly educating myself on trends in the real estate industry and in our local market.
Currently ranking in the top 10% of agents in the Greater Central Louisiana Realtors Association, I have more than quadrupled my sales for last year and am on track to have completed over 5 million in sales transactions in 2019.
I am a firm believer in giving back and am particularly passionate about historic preservation. I volunteer with several local organizations and work to always leave things better than I found them. Currently, I am serving as president for The Garden District Neighborhood Foundation (www.gardendistrictneighborhood.org) which is a neighborhood group comprised of residents, merchants, and other supporters who are committed to connecting, celebrating, and caring for the Historic Heart of Alexandria, Louisiana.
I love to read, travel, and do yoga in my spare time and live in the Alexandria Garden District with my husband and children. We enjoy watching football together, shuttling kids to soccer practice and going out to eat with friends.
