Views of the Contraband Bayou from the gallery of this New Orleans-inspired sanctuary. Nestled off Holly Hill Road, this 2014 custom-built luxury estate in Lake Charles offers an inviting blend of Southern elegance and contemporary amenities. Spanning 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home is a celebration of sophisticated living.<br />

The façade, with its classic white painted brick and striking black roof, exudes curb appeal, while the wrap-around gallery adorned with wrought iron speaks to its New Orleans roots, enhancing the home’s sense of grandeur.<br />

Inside, the heart of the home shines with an open floor plan where wood floors of sturdy oak and triple stack crown molding meet floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting in an abundance of natural light. The living area is anchored by a stately gas fireplace with an electric start, while exposed beams above add a rustic touch.<br />

A chef’s kitchen serves as the centerpiece, featuring an oversized island with sink, stainless refrigerator, double wall ovens, and a six-burner gas cooktop with pot filler. Nearby, a dining area boasts a rich stately floor constructed of delicately laid St. Louis bricks. A custom built 8 foot buffet/serving area blends functionality with old-world charm.<br />

The main suite is a retreat on the ground floor, complete with en-suite bath featuring walk in closet, double vanities, jetted garden tub and walk in tiled shower. Additional ground-floor bedroom offers an en-suite, ideal for guests desiring their own privacy, and two guest bedrooms reside upstairs, alongside a guest bath and living space with doors leading to the wrap around gallery. An extra 1,000 square feet of attic space provides ample storage or potential for expansion.<br />

Outdoors, a serene resort-like backyard awaits, complete with an inground gunite pool, heated hot tub, and a waterfall from a wall-mounted feature. The space is ensconced by an eight-foot brick wall, ensuring privacy. A grassy area adjacent to the pool offers a spot for play or leisure.<br />
