519 Dejean St Washington, LA 70589

Close your eyes and imagine--a home built with 1860's charm with modern construction elements and a 360 degree view of the character and charm that historic Washington has to offer. Washington is known for its quaint and historic charm with a two hour drive to New Orleans. Sit on the front porch with sweet tea on breezy afternoons with a view of Magnolia Ridge Plantation across the street or on cool evenings with your wine and cheese to discuss the events of the day away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city life. The home has been named ''Belle Vue'' for this very reason--the views from any place on the property are amongst the most beautiful and calming views in town. Built in 2004 to mimic a historic home with up to date construction, you cannot beat the bells and whistles with a $48 electricity bill as a bonus! The home was insulated with 20 tons of rice hulls in the walls, ceiling and floors proving to be a top notch source of insulation and energy efficiency proven month over month in the owners' electricity bills. Before you enter the home spend your time walking the grounds of the .38 acre corner lot to take in the scents and aroma of the latest blooms, including confederate jasmine, satsumas, antique roses, sweet olive, seafoam camellias, and many many more. The front porch, back porch and pergolas are wired for surround sound to enjoy the sweet sounds of your favorite tunes wherever you decide to sit and relax. Take notice of the functional shutters and fans on the front porch. Upon entry into the front door you enter into two separate spaces to entertain. Also on the first level is the kitchen, dining area, master bedroom (currently used as office space), laundry room (currently used as wine cellar) and full bathroom. Kitchen features marble counter tops and a four burner gas range. Take a look down as you walk around at the bamboo flooring throughout. Venture upstairs to two very spacious bedrooms each with their own en suite bathrooms and detailed custom closet spaces. The bathrooms feature on trend tile and shower detail you would find in new construction these days. Built as his own home by local favorite Paul Olivier, his attention to detail in the features of the home are even more noticeable in person including the colors selected and approved by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to ensure you'd still feel the 1860's era in the home. The wood burning stove has been wired and vented to heat the home with a quick switch. The home also features six mini split Fujitsu units to temperature control each room to your liking. The attics provide decked out storage space that is climate controlled. Backyard features a koi pond, shed on slab and a large kennel that can stay. Ask yourself where else can you live for a mere $103/sq ft that has this much character to offer. Give us a call to schedule today!
