1524 Stephens Avenue

Welcome to this Highland treasure. As you arrive, you’re greeted by a striking circular front portico, framed by grand columns and topped with an upper balcony, that sets the tone for what lies within. The exterior of the home features Shreveport siding, traditionally made from cypress and prized for its durability and historic character, which has been thoughtfully maintained and painted, along with a new architectural engineered shingle roof installed in 2017, a new upstairs HVAC system added in 2019, and a new hot water heater installed in 2025. Step inside and pause before moving forward. Look up and to the left, where the original Prescott family crest is still plastered above the fireplace, a rare and meaningful detail that anchors the home in its history. The foyer opens to rooms filled with warmth and stories. To the left, a family room where years of music once echoed through the space. To the right, a dining room that hosted countless shared meals and gatherings. From the start, you can feel it, this home is special. Upstairs, the second floor offers four large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a sweet little porch (my favorite space) just off the left-side bedrooms, a simple, window-lined room with a collection of art and lived-in charm waiting for its next artist. Continue to the third floor to a sunlit attic space filled with potential, perfect for a future office, studio, or private hideaway. Outside, at the back of the property you'll find a garage with parking for three vehicles, plus a staircase leading to a studio apartment above, ideal for guest quarters, rental income, or a creative workspace. This is more than a home; it’s a piece of Highland’s history, offered at a fair price, with the hope that its next steward will restore and carry it forward, honoring its past while shaping its future in the heart of the Highland arts district.
