Welcome to a rare architectural jewel nestled beneath a storied canopy of oaks in one of the most sought after locations in Acadiana. Built in the 1940s, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence with a bonus room spans approximately 2,691 square feet of timeless character, gracefully reimagined for modern living on nearly half an acre. The home's stucco facade and coral double doors strike an elegant balance between artistry and warmth, setting the tone for what awaits within. Sunlight filters through oversized windows, casting soft shadows across polished wood floors and crisp white walls, while a sculptural chandelier adds a touch of understated glamour. The open-concept layout creates effortless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, spaces designed as much for intimate gatherings as for everyday living. The kitchen anchors the home with custom cabinetry, refined surfaces, and premium appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, professional gas range, and wet bar with wine storage. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with private patio access, a spa inspired ensuite, and a custom walk-in closet blending luxury with function. Just beyond, a versatile bonus room extends the suite's appeal ideal for a home office or creative studio. Two additional bedrooms share a thoughtfully appointed guest bath, while a bold, designer half bath adds a playful dose of personality. Outdoors, the experience is nothing short of captivating. A brick terrace shaded by majestic oaks invites alfresco dining and quiet reflection, while the sleek pool and spa, framed by stone decking and lush landscaping, offer the feel of a private resort in the heart of town. To make this opportunity even more exceptional, the seller's preferred lender is offering a $5,000 lender credit toward closing costs. Perfectly positioned near UL, Ochsner, the Oil Center and Girard Park, this residence embodies architectural grace, privacy and the effortless elegance of central Acadiana living.
