Stunning Mid-Century Modern home reimagined by Chrestia, Staub & Pierce Architects! This impeccable 4BR + office + detached studio home was taken to the studs and completely renovated in 2012, blending timeless Mid-Century design with modern luxury. All on one level, and with vaulted 13.5’ ceilings in the living and dining rooms, kitchen, as well as the primary suite create an open, light-filled space with custom PGT hurricane-rated windows and doors framing views of the saltwater pool with Arizona Flagstone decking, and 350 SF Ipe deck (2015), great for seamless indoor/outdoor living and entertaining.
All systems were replaced, including electrical, plumbing (with a commercial-grade water line), and 3-zone HVAC. The home is energy-efficient with open-cell insulation throughout. The chef’s kitchen features Sub-Zero refrigerator & freezer, 48” Blu Star range oven with infrared broiler & flat-top, spring water pump, built-out pantry and dedicated coffee station.
Bathrooms are thoughtfully renovated with designer tile, lighting, and fixtures. Custom built-ins include the living room banquette seating, office workstation, primary suite closet, guest suite closets and storage, and mudroom cubbies. Gas fireplace in the living room, custom lighting and window treatments throughout the home.
Additional amenities include a whole-house generator, 2 tankless Rinnai water heaters, and a fully built-out laundry room with ample storage and soaking sink. Detached 197 SF studio with Murphy bed, cork flooring, butcher-block counters, mini-fridge, and a/c, and well as a 160 SF workshop with a/c + 50 SF storage.
Oversized 10,773 SF lot allows for a driveway for 3+ cars, plus spacious carport with air pump for tire filling & outdoor half bath, new 2024 sidewalk/driveway, lush landscaping, irrigation, landscape lighting & subsurface drainage. Located on high ground just a half-block from the Lake Pontchartrain Levee-no history of flooding. Do not miss this MCM masterpiece!
