Inspired by one of America's greatest architects, Frank Lloyd Wright, this beautiful ''Prairie-style home'' is a true work of art! Walking in, the first thing you will notice and be taken aback by is the amazing fireplace. Made of pieces salvaged from the 125 year old Baton Rouge Passengers Train Station, this fireplace is a piece of history! Standing back and taking in the entire home, you'll notice that the Great Room serves as the focal point, with the other spaces surrounding and extending from there. Looking out from the kitchen, you can see almost 60% of the entire home, which makes it a true open floor plan. Large windows spanning almost the entirety of the soaring 22 ft tall ceilings provide spectacular views night and day. Direct sunlight is blocked from entering the room by means of the 4 ft overhangs of the roof and the mature crepe myrtles. Standing in the kitchen, you will notice the expansive and abundant views afforded. Attached to the kitchen is a spacious pantry with fully louvered door for ventilation. From the kitchen you can see the formal dining area, which was originally intended as a game room. It contains a fully functional wet bar and includes an attached half bath. The primary bedroom area is isolated from all other spaces, and includes an attached office and laundry space. Two walk-in closets separate the bedroom area from the bathroom, which contains two vanities, a whirlpool tub and a spacious, custom built ceramic shower. On the West Wing of the house are located the additional two bedrooms and full bath. Above the West Wing is an unfinished space, which, in the future, could be made into a mirror image of the two bedrooms and bath located on the first floor below. (All major framing for the development of the Upper West Wing, as well as HVAC and plumbing and electrical was included in the original construction.) Walking outside, you'll appreciate the beauty of the landscaping that has been done to the property that was once used as a scout camp. Constructed of real stucco designed to mimic the bark of surrounding trees (layered on top of 8' thick reinforced & insulated concrete block), this home was designed to blend into the surrounding environment. Adding to the functionality of the home, the steep overhangs of the low-pitched roof not only are a part of the design aesthetic, but they also provide protection to the exterior of the home and shade to the interior. Commercial grade, double-glazed windows with a slight tint to reflect ultra-violet light were custom built for the home. A detached carport with open-air ventilation accommodates 3 vehicles and provides additional storage space. A versatile outbuilding is found in the backyard that can be used as a guest room or for many other uses. (It already contains a bath and space for a shop/hobbies) A designated portion of the east side of the backyard has been leveled in contrast to the sloping site in order to allow for recreational sports, with an included patio area. There are so many more features of this lovely home that cannot be included here- you have to come see it for yourself and learn more! Don't wait to schedule your showing!
