Imagine Gulf Highway being your address! An estate where luxury and the charm of Louisiana blend seamlessly on 10.25 acres of prime land. As you drive up, you’re greeted by a picturesque driveway lined with crepe myrtles, oaks, and magnolias, setting the stage for the beauty that lies beyond. French Country from architectural accounts, but the overly welcoming front entrance greets you with a pinch of southern coastal vibe, featuring stately columns and operable Bermuda shutters. Step inside this beautifully renovated home, originally custom-built in 2005 and rebuilt from the studs in 2021. With over 2,500 square feet of living space, this residence offers a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The open floor plan features exquisite cabinetry and woodwork, with a kitchen designed for both cooking and entertaining. Stainless steel appliances, including a double wall oven, electric cooktop, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, make meal preparation a delight. The custom kitchen boasts a tiled backsplash with a convenient pot filler, and instant hot water is available in both the kitchen and the utility/laundry room and the home is equipped with an 80 gallon hot water heater tank. Picture yourself enjoying morning coffee at the bar-top seating of the oversized kitchen island, or hosting dinners in the separate but adjacent dining room. The main suite provides a private sanctuary with a luxurious en suite bathroom, walk-in shower, and spacious closets. Two additional bedrooms offer ample space and sizable closets, perfect for whatever the need! Recessed lighting and triple stacked molding throughout, along with gold hardware, add sophisticated touches. Custom wooden blinds and window treatments designed by Budget Blinds add a refined finish to the interior. The charm continues outside with a serene 4-acre pond in your backyard… Where you can catch 15 lb large-mouthed bass without leaving home?? The additional 2.5 acres come with two lots, separate sewer systems, separate electrical meters, and slabs (one with a storage shed), offering endless possibilities for expansion or rental opportunities. Living here means enjoying the best of both worlds: the peace of a rural setting while being just five minutes from the Burton Coliseum and the airport, and ten minutes from McNeese State University. This property is a true picture of Louisiana living!!! ~ Btw, Flood Insurance ~ $100/month.
