Property Description

Set on TWO 100-by-200-foot lots, this home blends classic Southern style with subtle Mediterranean influence. Meticulously maintained by the same family since it was built, it is surrounded by majestic 70-plus-year-old oaks and professionally designed gardens with native Louisiana plantings, creating a serene, park-like setting with sweeping views and exceptional privacy. A graceful U-shaped floor plan centers on a stunning courtyard, while floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light and garden views. Inside, 9- and 10-foot ceilings, antique beams, heart pine floors, and custom finishes add warmth and character.

The private primary suite features courtyard views, a sitting area, a study, a luxurious bath, and dual walk-in closets. Additional highlights include marble and tile baths, a designer powder room, a custom office, and distinctive lighting throughout. The garage doubles as an elegant party cabana, with custom shuttered doors opening to the gardens and rear porch for exceptional indoor-outdoor entertainment. Rarely does a property combine architectural distinction, mature landscaping, and gracious entertaining so seamlessly. This special home on 2 lots is designed for elegant living and memorable gatherings.
