Tucked beneath the quiet shade of Lake Sherwood South sits a home that feels like it’s been waiting for the next chapter of family stories. Built in 1987 and lovingly kept by its original owner for decades, this home carries that rare, unmistakable warmth — the kind of home that reminds you of Sunday dinners, the smell of something baking in the double ovens, and a living room where everyone eventually ends up. Step inside and you’ll find a spacious living room anchored by a cozy fireplace, the natural gathering place for holidays, game nights, and slow Louisiana evenings. The kitchen and breakfast area look out over the backyard pond and fountain, offering peaceful water views that make your morning coffee feel like a quiet retreat. The primary suite downstairs provides privacy and convenience, while upstairs you’ll find three additional bedrooms and two full baths, giving everyone their own space. A dedicated game room adds the perfect spot for movie nights, pool tables, or the kids’ favorite hangout. Out back, the setting truly shines. The pond, fountain and pool create a picturesque backdrop that feels worlds away from the bustle of the city — ideal for relaxing evenings or weekend get-togethers. A detached two-car garage, timeless layout, and the kind of charm that can’t be built overnight make this Lake Sherwood home something special. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t just hold furniture — it holds memories waiting to be made. Come see why this one feels like home the moment you pull into the driveway.
