One of a kind plantation style creole cottage that defines our unique and historic architecture of South Louisiana!! The original home was built around the 1840's and moved from historical Donaldsonville and reconstructed on a beautiful lot in coveted University Acres. Professional engineered foundation design and the additional square footage designed by Billie Bryan was built by master craftsmen. Completion of construction in 2012 makes this effectively a 6 year old home! During construction all plumbing, electrical, ac, roof and kitchen and baths were installed. The roof is a lifetime galvalume interlock metal roof. The home features a large kitchen with enormous center island, 6' sub-zero refrigerator/freezer, Viking 60' six burner range oven (with griddle, grill and 2 convection ovens), farmhouse sink, 3cm white marble and butler's pantry that leads to side screened porch/breakfast area! Kitchen is open to the den and extends to a 30' x 11.5' screened back porch. In fact the home has over 1200 sq ft of porch/patio area!! Master suite features modern bath with large travertine shower and claw foot soaking tub; bedroom with wood burning fireplace; sitting room with adjacent large closet and adjacent office/sunroom. Upstairs the home has large landing area and 3 bedrooms each with a private bath. There is also a laundry room upstairs!! Other features of home include: 12' ceilings, cypress millwork, wired for generator, wired for speaker inside and out, 3 wood burning masonry fireplaces, etc. This is truly a unique gem !!!!
