About This Home

As of September 2024

Wake up to sculling crews and kayakers on historic Bayou St. John and end the day with vivid sunsets all from your home with stunning views of the pool and bayou from almost any room!
Situated on peaceful Bancroft Drive, this circa 1960 Mid Century Modern architectural home conjures the style and sophistication of Palm Springs California, where celebrities of that era, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Hope and other A-Listers, escaped for their weekend parties and entertainment, away from city life....and so can you!

Situated on the widest point of the Bayou St John on an oversized waterfront lot with a secluded private deep-water pool, hot tub and beautiful waterfall feature, this single-story home boasts 3 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a half bath plus a large bonus room in the entertainment wing that could be converted to a guest wing by accessing an adjacent bathroom.
The large chef’s kitchen was expanded to allow views of the water from various dining areas. A massive center island was designed for entertaining and casual “grazing” with an adjoining formal dining room, also with stunning water views, for dinner parties and holidays. Stainless steel appliances including an oversize gas range, ice maker, wine cooler and 2 sinks allow for collaborative meal preparation by hosts or a catering staff.
The serene and spacious primary suite, with stunning views of the pool and bayou, includes a large bath with separate shower and vanity area plus a huge walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms with ensuite baths complete the sleeping wing.
The roof is only 4 years old.
The 2-car oversized garage with laundry area and has direct access to the house. The raised driveway can park 4 cars in addition to garage parking.
Private security service is included in the tax bill.
In a city known for fine dining, your view for sunset dinner and drinks surpasses any restaurant views available.
The BEST VIEWS OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FROM THE LIVING ROOM!
