Enjoy views of the Contraband Bayou from the gallery of this New Orleans-inspired sanctuary. Nestled off Holly Hill Road, this 2014 custom-built luxury estate in Lake Charles offers an inviting blend of Southern elegance and contemporary amenities. Spanning 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home is a celebration of sophisticated living. The façade, with its classic white painted brick and striking black roof, exudes curb appeal, while the wrap-around gallery adorned with wrought iron speaks to its New Orleans roots, enhancing the home’s sense of grandeur. Inside, the heart of the home shines with an open floor plan where wood floors of sturdy oak and triple stack crown molding meet floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting in an abundance of natural light. The living area is anchored by a stately gas fireplace with an electric start, while exposed beams above add a rustic touch. A chef’s kitchen serves as the centerpiece, featuring an oversized island with sink, stainless refrigerator, double wall ovens, and a six-burner gas cooktop with pot filler. Nearby, a dining area boasts a rich stately floor constructed of delicately laid St. Louis bricks. A custom built 8 foot buffet/serving area blends functionality with old-world charm. The main suite is a retreat on the ground floor, complete with en-suite bath featuring walk in closet, double vanities, jetted garden tub and walk in tiled shower. Additional ground-floor bedroom offers an en-suite, ideal for guests desiring their own privacy, and two guest bedrooms reside upstairs, alongside a guest bath and living space with doors leading to the wrap around gallery. An extra 1,000 square feet of attic space provides ample storage or potential for expansion. Outdoors, a serene resort-like backyard awaits, complete with an inground gunite pool, heated hot tub, and a waterfall from a wall-mounted feature. The space is ensconced by an eight-foot brick wall, ensuring privacy. A grassy area adjacent to the pool offers a spot for play or leisure. Premium amenities such as gas lanterns, a central vacuum, dual hot water heaters, two air conditioners, and a backup power generator ensure comfort and continuity in all conditions. The residence also includes a two-car garage with additional storage. Flood Zone X, but sellers will transfer current flood policy to buyer.
