Description: So rare to find a 12-Year old Home in this wonderful old neighborhood. The French Design is so at home in its setting in “The Oaks” of Port Allen, where Giant Oaks line the Avenues, neighbors still know each other by name, and children can walk to schools and parks. Fronting the Mississippi Levee, there are wonderful views of the Bridge from the backyard and Downtown Baton Rouge from the levee top. Come 4th of July this is the best “seat in the house” for the annual river fireworks show and just a few blocks away is the “Old Ferry Landing Levee-Top Park”. The front yard is framed with two mature live oak trees and a Flagstone Courtyard welcomes friends and family. Brick Columns with gas-look lights surround the entire perimeter of the front and back yard. The owner’s intention was to encase between the columns with stucco in the back for privacy and wrought iron in the front, and there’s a planned opening for a double gate on the side, small walking gate into the courtyard, and electric double driveway gate. Entering through the Front Door, one walks into the Foyer Area, with Formal Dining Room to the Right. Here, as with the entire house, the Ceilings are High, the Natural Light abundant, and Crown and other Accent Moldings add great detail. Dinner guests have an awesome view of the front courtyard and live oak trees through the Dining Room’s Oversized Window. Beyond the foyer is the Family / Living Room with a Fireplace with stove inset taking center stage, flanked by Built Ins and an Entertainment Center. One entire wall of the Living Room is a bank of windows overlooking the backyard, as is a wall in the adjacent Breakfast Room – great natural light and views! Off the Living Room and facing the front courtyard is the Study with Cypress Built Ins. This versatile room is listed as the 4th Bedroom, as there are 2 closets making it a great guestroom. However, this room also makes a warm and cozy study, and with the plumbing in place for a wet bar, its location off the living area can easily extend the entertainment space for large gatherings. Wood Floors that were just refinished accent the Dining Room, Living Room, Study, and Hall. The Kitchen and Spacious Breakfast are open to both the living room and the dining room. This layout gives the home’s living area an open feel, without all being in one big room. Cypress Cabinets, Cinnamon Walls, and Brick Flooring give the Kitchen its warmth and character, but lots of storage options, countertops galore, and great built in appliances give it the function any gourmet will love! A Center Island with vegetable sink is accessible from all sides, one wall houses the Gas Range cooking area, corner Double Sinks have a great view of the bridge, and another area houses the Wall Oven and Microwave. The side x side Refrigerator remains, there’s a huge Corner Pantry, and one entire wall of cabinets offers a Long Countertop that doubles as Buffet to the Breakfast Area. Just off the kitchen is the Laundry Room with a utility sink and space for a freezer, a Half Bath, and entry into the Double Garage. Also accessible from the kitchen / breakfast is a back door to the Large Covered back Porch. On the other side of the living area is the secluded Master Suite to the back and a hallway with the other 2 Bedrooms and Bath to the front of the home, in a split plan. The Master Suite includes a Spacious Bedroom with “tray / shelf ceiling” accent and a wonderful His and Her Bath. Double Vanities, Toilet Closet, Jetted Tub plus Separate Shower, and a Large Closet make it easy for this bath and dressing area to be shared. The home just got a new Central Air unit outside, New Roof and Chimney, and Fresh Paint inside and out. The Double Garage has a Workbench, storage areas, and Attic Access via pull down stairs. The Expansive Back Porch is cooled by 3 ceiling fans and is ready for an Outdoor Kitchen with plumbing and piping in place for a gas and water. This
