417 Kim Dr Lafayette, LA 70503

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! This beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home is located in the heart of Lafayette! Right in the center of the desirable Live Oak Park! Just a block from West Bayou Parkway! Curb appeal galore on this gorgeous, traditional estate with a BRAND NEW ROOF!!!! Two mature live oaks sit directly in front of the front face of the home. This appeal is accompanied by a paved front walk, front porch, and three large dormer windows! The wide driveway leads into a brick fenced side yard, and wraps around to the carport off the side of the home. The front door opens into the spacious formal dining area. There is then the kitchen, which has been preserved with its classic, timeless appeal, and the centrepiece of a living room with vaulted ceilings, an upstairs banister view, a wood burning fireplace, and the authentic, stately staircase. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs. The master suite, with a fully updated bathroom and another bedroom with a next door accessible full bath. At the back of the downstairs is the home's most fabulous feature! The fully glassed in back porch/sun room that spans the width of the downstairs! Perfect as a second living room/ TV room/ family room, looking out into the beautifully shaded back yard. This room will be the draw of the entire home! It is large enough to also have a small dining/breakfast table. The upstairs is a perfect kids retreat! It features 3 massive bedrooms and a very nice sized Jack and Jill bathroom. At the top of the stairs, there is a banister/balcony that overlooks the living room/downstairs! As in times of old, such a nostalgic feature of this gorgeous, traditional, well preserved large family home! This one won't last long!
