138 Pelican Crossing Opelousas, LA 70570

Every time you pull into the garage and enter your brand-new home, you will be greeted by your beautiful, perfect, formal dining room bathed in soft grey walls with misty white trim on a rich palette of exotic Brazilian Walnut laminate flooring. It's a spacious dining area (12'x9.5') which will fit that fabulous dining room table with room enough for a china cabinet or buffet or even a piano... and there is a wall of windows allowing the natural light to make everything glow. Of course, if you prefer, this could be a gorgeous home office. Now, on to the kitchen where you have what every Louisiana chef loves, a gas stove - that vents to the OUTSIDE. Plus, there's a full-length windowed eat-in dining nook and two double-door pantries! Though, it doesn't really feel like a kitchen...it is open to the Living Room and is so beautifully appointed it truly sets the place. There is a single slab granite island with loads of storage that looks more like a piece of furniture than a counter. The living room is 17'6"'x16' with tons of windows and a gas fireplace with adjacent built-in shelving. The Master Bedroom too is generous (13'x14'). The Master Bath hosts a large garden tub - shower and a toilet tucked away in its own private space, an undermount double vanity slab granite counter...did I mention - his and her closets!! And there is more - a coat closet off the foyer, a large linen closet next to a good-sized laundry room and two well-proportioned smaller bedrooms (12'x11.5') both with additional large double-door closets. Off the Living Room, you'll have a covered patio as you walk out to a nice backyard (25'x 25') with an adjoining side-yard that would be perfect for a kid's playset or a volleyball net or your favorite garden. This home is so well designed that you will think you are in a 1700sf home; but you only have to pay for 1494sf. Smart! It has every amenity. We start with a better than grade slab to a radiant barrier, insulated, 25yr roof. It is a solid brick home (Yes - brick is the Southern home's best insulator - there are no vinyl walls, and offers both strength & easy maintenance - no Hardi to paint.) and is equipped with energy efficient natural gas heat & hot water and Low-E Tilt-in Vinyl-clad Windows. The best news, this home has a large (22.5'x22') 2-car garage - big enough to fit your big truck and more. Everything is designed to offer energy efficiency, simple up-keep and affordable elegance! You have all of this and it's located in a beautiful gated community with walking paths around a peaceful lake that's draped in willow trees and stocked with fish, just seconds from I-49 and NONE of this development is in negatively rated flood zone (It's all Zone X.) 100% financing to qualified buyers! While we still have a few finishing touches, like landscaping and touch-up paint, we'll be ready when you are. So come, take a peek! Your custom-made 8' Mahogany front-door is waiting for you to open the possibilities. It is simply beautiful !
