Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a gorgeous, historical home on the Bayou Teche! Built in the 1880s, this estate has seen nearly 150 years of luxurious Southern living. The expansive grounds include almost 3 acres of majestic oaks and other trees crowned by a stunning bayou vista. The oak in the front yard dates to 1834 and is a Charter Member of the Louisiana Live Oak Society, meaning it was one of the first 100 oaks in the state recognized by the organization. A traditional, extra long front porch is perfect for rocking the day away, sipping sweet tea, and whiling away the hours with loved ones. And, the over-sized rear courtyard with wrap around porch takes advantage of the breeze and views, making it another relaxing spot to spend an afternoon. Inside, this home is still full of authentic charm and elegance with a crystal chandeliers, French doors throughout, original oak floors, several fireplaces, and other period details. The huge kitchen is breath taking with Cypress on the floors and ceiling, tons of windows, modern cabinets, granite counters, a giant island, and modern appliances including a gas cooktop, double wall oven, dishwasher, and custom refrigerator and freezer designed to blend in with the cabinets. Also on the first floor is the stately formal dining room, living room, parlor, dual office, and the master suite which features a fireplace in the bedroom and a massive bathroom plus a walk-in closet. Upstairs are additional bedrooms and bathrooms plus a landing with more built-in office space. This home is truly impressive and paints a picture of an elegant past life on the bayou.
