About This Home
This Southern French Creole Colonial estate offers serene country living with city convenience. Designed by Robert Dame, built by Mission Contractors, with interiors by Sandy Lucas of Lucas/Eilers and custom plasterwork by Leslie Sinclair of Segreto. Set on 3.8 acres, the property features a circle drive, ample parking, pool/spa, fire pit, pasture, two climate-controlled sheds, and a whole-home generator. Inside, Venetian plaster walls, an 18th-century French limestone fireplace, and 19th-century reclaimed wood floors add timeless elegance. The main level is ideal for daily living and entertaining, with spaces centered around a piano-ready salon. Upstairs, all bedrooms have en-suite baths, and the primary suite includes a large closet and two private balconies. A rare blend of history, luxury, and comfort.
