About This Home
Discover a rare opportunity to own a true midcentury modern gem. Designed by acclaimed Louisiana architect John J. Desmond, this thoughtfully crafted home blends timeless style with practical everyday comfort. Its intriguing U-shaped layout naturally separates gathering areas from private quiet spaces, each enhanced by abundant natural light and views of the outdoors. The inviting family room, with raised ceiling and warm pendulum lighting, creates a welcoming space for everyday living. Stained redwood beams highlight the home’s architectural heritage, while the beautifully built-in cabinetry and open shelving offer both charm and practical storage. The family room opens seamlessly to the kitchen, where you’ll find custom-crafted cabinetry built on-site from select birch, a hallmark of quality and craftsmanship rarely found today. The formal living-dining room showcases a stunning cathedral ceiling accented by exposed overhead beams. Rich Silverwood paneling lends warmth and mid-century character to the space, complemented by expansive picture windows that offer serene views of the spacious backyard. This spacious home boasts four bedrooms and three full baths, with two of the bedrooms featuring ensuite baths for added privacy. Abundant built-in storage is incorporated throughout, including four walk-in closets with adjustable shelving for easy customization. Nestled in the desirable Magnolia Woods subdivision, this residence offers a unique opportunity to own a beautifully crafted home with architectural significance in a quiet, established neighborhood.
