And a home in this quiet, exclusive neighborhood that is deceptively spacious! You would never expect to find this much living area in this traditional French style home -- including 6 bedrooms and 5 baths! But you can use this space in multiple ways: Upstairs are 3 bedrooms/2 baths with one that would make an ideal media room! Downstairs is master suite PLUS 2 bedrooms/2.5 baths - one could be a study, the other a great mother-in-law suite or kid's den with bath! Whatever your needs this home will be a match! Exceptionally appointed with exposed pine beams, 10-inch plank wood flooring throughout first floor, Carolina brick interior walls, slab granite, stainless appliances, stove and hood, surround sound and many other custom features. The den overlooks the community space in the backyard creating a refreshing view. Enter through the massive double-entry beveled glass doors to an open living and dining area overlooking the courtyard style patio area. (Pavilion remains for the lucky new homeowner!) The master overlooks patio, offering privacy, spacious bedroom and large bath with separate vanities, jetted tub and shower. The kitchen is anchored by a large center island with room for 5 bar stools for visiting and casual dining, stainless oversized gas range, and open to the keeping area with fireplace! All hard surfaces downstairs including rich wide pine planks, brick, porelain tile. Room for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own privacy! Located on a dead-end street in the exclusive Southside Gardens neighborhood off Hood, in the heart of the growing Southdowns corridor. Convenient to St. Aloysius, LSU, downtown, I-10 access, and all of the new dining and shopping along the Perkins Road corridor. A rare opportunity to find a home this spacious, only 8 years young, this convenient, and this beautiful!
