undefined Driving up to the home you'll stop in your tracks taking in the true Acadian style southern front porch with beautiful landscaping, functional hurricane shutters, an abundance of exterior lighting and extra parking you cannot find offered from most homes in this zip code. Sit on the deep front porch to enjoy your morning coffee and as the weather warms up during the day, head to the backyard for the in ground pool/spa with heater/pool chiller. The pool is a custom design with fire bowls and water features. The herringbone brick pattern around the pool and privacy from trees (five Live Oaks!) and landscaping accent the place where you will entertain and spend most of your summer days. Upon entry into the front door you immediately notice the real deal pine floors, the plantation shutters throughout, and the excess of natural light. On your left you have the formal dining room with fixtures selected by Lafayette's favorite designer, Jodi Bolgiano, custom drapes and natural light filling the room. On the right you have the dream office/sitting area with floor to ceiling bookshelves, a Murphy bed, the AV closet (with Control 4 system that stays with the home) and its own FULL bathroom. That's right--save this room for guests or convert it to a 5th bedroom. Venture into the home and you're walk into the living room space with corner wood burning fireplace. Want to feel like you're home--light a fire in this floor to ceiling gas start brick masterpiece! The kitchen offers an Old St Louis brick floors, extended island with storage and electrical outlets, stainless appliances, double wall oven, coffee station, gas range with pot filler, ice maker and a refrigerator that stays!

Mom's dream--the biggest laundry room you've ever come across! More cabinets and counter space than you'll ever need, water hookups for another refrigerator, a gift wrapping station and more hanging rod space--spend all day in here and LOVE it! The butler area off of the kitchen offers another sink and wine/beverage cooler. Before you even leave the kitchen space and the heart of the home you'll notice the next best place to hang out--a keeping room with another gas start wood burning fireplace with full brick chimney. The custom pieces on either side of the fireplace in here have desks inside. This room has accordion doors that open to the outside area to make entertaining a breeze.
