In the highly desirable Forest Park area sits this gem of a home, beautifully custom built, on nearly an acre. This stately home boasts a premier level of construction which is practically unattainable today, tongue-and-groove construction of the walls and decking! Solid and strong. From the grand exterior and classic features throughout, this is a lovely home. The Georgian style windows, nearly ceiling to floor, allow natural light to pour into the large living room and dining area. In contrast, warm tones from real cherry wood paneling, solid brick flooring, and built-in bookshelves, are found in the handsome den, which also features a solid, Old Chicago brick exterior wall. A set of four adjacent windows brings in natural light and provides a view to the back patio areas. Conveniently located downstairs is the primary bedroom suite, and one guest bedroom with a hall bath. You are sure to love the extraordinarily spacious primary bedroom, with enough room to create a cozy sitting area for two! The bathroom features a double vanity and stand-alone corner shower, while the walk-in closet has both standing and overhead built-in shelving. Upstairs you will find two more bedrooms, and a full bath with a tub shower combination. From the den or the dining room, you can enter the breakfast nook, open to the kitchen which has plenty of counter space and cabinetry, a double oven, an electric cook-top, and a convenient built-in hutch. Exterior doors in the den, the kitchen, and the utility room, make accessing the back patios quite easy. The adjacent utility room is rather large and has loads of shelving for extra pantry needs and more. Outdoors is simply wonderful with landscaping surrounding the home, a huge yard, and an adorable little Acadian style storage/workshop. You have both covered and open patio areas to enjoy. Plus, the 512sf carport, featuring brick columns, and overlooking the beautiful back yard, can serve as a covered patio for larger gatherings. This home is North of I-10 (lower insurance premiums), only 18 minutes to Lafayette, and in an area where flood insurance is NOT required by lenders! Wonderful location, 3000+ square feet of living area, and peace of mind in knowing this home has never flooded, this jewel is truly a great find!
