This is Lafayette as it should be - heartfelt, relaxed, and simply beautiful. Starting with lots of open spaces for grand indoor/outdoor entertaining; space for those 'Big Boy & Girl' toys and lots of off-street parking! This home is right in the center of Lafayette, surrounded by many school choices and just a stone's throw from the new Lafayette High. It's a traditional Acadian style home (2047sf 3BR-2.5BT) with an open floorplan, a front porch the width of the house and a foyer that goes the depth of the house. It is centered on a 100' by 150' deep lot & graced by marvelous, mature trees & azaleas. It is deemed new construction because it has had everything that could be replaced, replaced - ALL new plumbing, ALL new electrical, ALL new air conditioning, a new roof; a restructured foundation; reinforced joists; ALL new insulation, sheetrock, paint... Except, we kept the exterior walls because they are wrapped in cedar - the best! We added a large, 2-car, brick garage (24'x23') with a turn-around that allows you to exit the driveway front first. Plus, there are front and rear garage doors. The Master Suite runs from the front to the rear of the home with a large walk-in closet. The bath has a 6'6' granite vanity & two undermount sinks, a 4' tiled shower, a toilet room, open shelving and a beautiful vessel tub under a huge 4'x5' window accented by plantation shutters for privacy, open above for vast natural light. Upstairs are two big bedrooms (14'x15') & (18'x13.5') with lots of closets and a bath with a 7' granite double vanity, a tub/shower, a large linen closet and a toilet room. Great for several occupants at once. The kitchen features a counter-depth stainless refrigerator/freezer, a gas stove that exhausts outside, surrounded by lots of cabinets, a butler pantry & a walk-in pantry. A row of windows looks out into the best room of the house! It's a 10' deep & 27' across, cathedral-ceiling, SCREENED-IN, BACK PORCH. You will love it! Plus no association fees! This is Lafayette as it should be - heartfelt, relaxed, and simply beautiful...inside and out. Not too much - not too little...and something you rarely see these days - lots and lots of open spaces. There's space for grand outdoor living; space for indoor/outdoor entertaining, even a spot (40'x20') for those "Big Boy & Girl" toys! All with loads of off-street parking to boot!!. Location - Right in the center of Lafayette, where entertainment and restaurants abound; surrounded by some of the best schools in the Parish and just a stone's throw away from the new Lafayette High; AND just 8min from Acadiana Mall - and that includes traffic! What can I say, it's the Heart of Acadiana! Which brings me to the home itself. Structurally - It's a traditional Acadian style home (2047sf - 3BR-2.5BT) with an open floorplan and a front porch the width of the house and a Foyer that goes the depth of the house from the 8' Red Cedar front door to a matching rear door. It is a raised Acadian home set on traditional brick piers. It is deemed new construction because it is way more than updated. It has had everything that could be replaced, replaced: all new plumbing - new pipes, fasteners and plumbing fixtures, etc.; all new electrical - a new electrical panel, wiring, devices and light fixtures, etc.; all new heating & air conditioning - a new condenser, compressor and complete ductwork, etc. Plus, we added a new roof, a restructured foundation, reinforced joists, all new windows, insulation, sheetrock and completely repainted - inside and out...and just about everything else except, we kept the exterior wall-framing because it is wrapped in Cedar - second only to Cypress!! Then, we covered it in Artisan Hardie - the best! Exterior - Of course, we added an extra-large, two-car, brick garage (24'x23') with a turn-around out of the garage that allows you to exit your driveway front first. Really great! Plus, we added double - front and rear - garage doors. You can drive straight from the front yard into the back yard. And, it is a GRAND BACK YARD! This new home is resting on a 100' wide and 150' deep lot - a rare combination in the middle of Lafayette. It is graced with marvelous, mature oak trees, cypress trees, magnolia trees, pecan trees and more - with some higher than head-tall azalea bushes scattered throughout the property. The yard is tremendous! So much can be done here - a swimming pool, a tennis court, a Space-X launch pad (LOL)...or you can just enjoy the beautiful vista! Interior - This home is the epitome of relaxed perfection. There is so much natural light that many of the attached photos are lit only by the sun's touch. Downstairs, the Master Suite runs from the front of the home to the rear with a bedroom full of windows and a sitting/dressing area, a nice walk-in closet and a full bath with a 6'6" granite double vanity, a 4' tiled shower, a private toilet, and a luxurious vessel tub nestled under a matching granite shelf beneath a 4'x5' picture window accented by plantation shutters, yet still open above to let-in the natural light that pours through the pecan trees every afternoon. The two upstairs bedrooms are very large (18'x13.5' & 14'x15') with lots of closets. There is an upstairs bath that has a 7' granite double vanity with undermount sinks and lots of drawers, a tub/shower that is tucked in its own space, a large linen closet and a private toilet - plenty of room and privacy for several occupants at one time. Great for a large family! The Living and Dining area has windows all around and a gas fireplace topped by a floating Cedar mantle with a generous set of adjustable floor to ceiling built-ins adjacent to it - perfect for all your "pretties" and more. There is an open riser staircase that wraps around the fireplace landing into the living room. The open risers add light to the foyer which lends itself to a useful space underneath to showoff that precious, heirloom chest or can make the perfect place for an office or homework desk or even a special space where the four-legged member of the clan can hang out. The Kitchen is part of the open living area and features all new appliances with the sophistication and beauty of a 48" counter-depth stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, a gas stove that exhausts to the outside, a small butler's pantry, plus a walk-in pantry, surrounded by lots of cabinets and open shelving, all just steps away from the Laundry Room and adjacent Half-Bath. There is a row of windows which looks out into the best "room" of the house! It's a 10' deep by 27' across, cathedral-ceiling, SCREENED-IN, BACK PORCH. Sunsets will become your favorite thing to do. You...will...love it!! Did I mention there are no association fees?
