About This Home

A STATEMENT IS WHAT THIS ONE IS! This French-country style home is absolutely stunning and the essence of class and timelessness. Located just on the outskirts of Lake Charles where many still consider this area to be, this beautiful package sits on just shy of a 1 acre all cleared lot and close to the entry of the sprawling South 40 Estates subdivision, a restricted neighborhood with large lots and high demand. With nearly 3100 square feet of heated and cooled space, including the large 459 square feet bonus room above the garage, this home has a ton of storage, large rooms, a formal dining area, office and so much to offer. It could easily be a 5 bedroom home with room to spare. A declaration of comfort, style and function comes with a most thoughtful design in mind - nearly every square inch of this home has been reimagined and renovated with precision, taste and intention not to mention high quality craftsmanship. The parapet wall and stately columns of the front elevation are certain to draw you in and offer a most welcoming and inviting feel while the 5 year old roof is really just the start of the "new". With all new energy efficient double paned windows, painting, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing and electrical fixtures throughout - the aesthetics speak volumes. But wait, it features 2 brand new central units inside and out with all new ductwork. No expense was spared in the remodel and whether you're more the minimalist, appreciate rustic warmth and coziness or sleek contemporary design, this spacious home is a blank canvas for anyone. The quartz countertops and backsplash in the kitchen are hosts to 2 sinks with touchless faucets and a glass rinser and to top it off, all new appliances occupy this working space. The living room's focal points are the wood-burning fireplace and the beautiful stairway but the natural lighting alone fills the space and accentuates seamless intergration in these common downstairs areas. Its wow-factor curb appeal was finished with lush landscaping recently added and this property lies in flood zone X where flood insurance is not required. Lots of concrete parking and a long driveway lead to the 3 bay garage - home to a workshop and storage space, making it easy and convenient to house your mower, lawn/sports equipment, golf cart, and so much more. This one is absolutely A MUST SEE TO APPRECIATE. Call today to have a copy of the subdivision plat, restrictions and floor plan sent to you and to schedule your showing for this awesome property. New garage doors are currently on order with an ETA of any time now. Seller will contribute $7,500.00 towards purchaser's concessions.
