Description: This beautiful home, with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and possible 5th bedroom in the bonus area, abounds in wonderful architectural details and antique woods. A combination of architectural antiques with state of the art systems offers a rare blend of beauty and function. Set on a large corner lot that leads into a cul-de-sac, the near 3,800 Living Area home is in Antonia Plantation subdivision in the Brusly area. Built of Old Brick and Stucco, the French design has many special features and amenities outside as well as in. A centered planter and flowerbeds awash with color highlight the front door and yard. Gaslights and brick walkways welcome friends and family to the front entry as does the kitchen portico where an antique pine post and beaded board ceiling adorn this side entry from the driveway. A professionally landscaped yard has very lush plantings, walkway lighting, French drains, brick walks and accents, and a sprinkler system. Unique “under the eave” lighting gives a gorgeous presence to the home in the evening and an expansive covered back porch and open patio make outdoor entertaining a breeze. Through the front door entry, adorned with sidelights and transom, one enters the Foyer and is immediately struck by the special charm and character of the home. Extensive use of antique pine beams, wood floors, tongue and groove ceilings, old wood doors, and used brick on walls and floors throughout the living area is reminiscent of the Raised Cottage design of old South Louisiana homes. Exquisite Moldings give the Living Room a formal flare, where a wall of windows offers lots of natural light and great views of the covered back patio and yard. Taking center stage in the living room is the massive Floor to Ceiling Brick Fireplace, which for efficiency and clean burning is really a vent less gas system. Open to the this room is the Kitchen, Keeping Room, and Dining. A wonderful gourmet Kitchen is sure to delight the cook in the family where cabinets of old pine contain pullouts, spice racks, garbage bins, vertical storage and a walk-in pantry for even more storage options. Architectural highlights of the kitchen are the Villa Alcove that houses the 5-Burner Gas Range and the furniture-style Center Island with wine storage. Granite covers the countertops and Tile Squares in varying designs accent the backsplash. The High-End Stainless Steel appliances include Wall Oven, Microwave with Convection, Refrigerator, Dishwasher and Ice Maker. A three-sided “Eat In Bar” for casual dining and serving boufet-style separates the Kitchen from Keeping Area, with the more formal Dining Area just beyond. The Kitchen, like the rest of the home, features special lighting with numerous Canister lights, Antique-finish Light Fixtures, and lighting under and over all of the cabinets. Adjacent to the kitchen is a full Office with desk areas, cabinets, built ins, filing drawers, and two separate computer stations. A home business could be run from this one room! Centered between the Dining Area and the Kitchen, the Keeping Room is a great space for family to gather at the end of the day or friends to be entertained while the cook is at work. Leaving the keeping room, a hallway leads to the Bonus Room Stairs, Guest Quarters, and Garage. The Guest Quarters encompasses a very Spacious Bedroom having its own entry from the patio and a Lovely Bath. This bath doubles as a Powder Room where an antique piece of furniture houses the sink and vanity. Use of Old Woods for the doors, ceilings, and beams was continued into these areas. Walking back through the living area, the other two bedrooms, Laundry Area and Master Suite are located on the opposite side of the home. Old Wood floors continue down the hall connecting these rooms and into the Master Bedroom. Presently the owners have the children’s bedrooms decorated each for a girl and boy and both rooms just got new carpet, have spacious closets, and share the use of
