Property Description

Classic meets modern in this exceptional residence overlooking the LSU lakes, initially designed in 1955 by architects LeBlanc & Deen. Cleverly crafted & meticilously maintained to blend with its traditional neighborhood, the front elevation features; painted windows, a steep slate roof, raised panels under double-hung windows, and a welcoming porch marked by two wide columns. Around back, a more modern expression unfolds with aluminium casement windows that fill the interior with natural light. The layout reflects a thoughtful dual concept: the central fireplace serves as the divider between public and private spaces, and the hall defines a clear line of transition. Louvered doors and panels—inside and out—create breezy indoor-outdoor connections, enhanced by a walled French Quarter-style courtyard, framed views of the custom pool and gardens, and a wonderful breezeway. The material palette—St. Joe brick, Pennsylvania slate roof, and copper gutters elevate the design with timeless elegance, both classic and modern. Interiors by Thad Hayes, Inc. (NYC) and JPS Builders feature cork floors, cypress paneling, and a restored St. Charles kitchen with stainless counters, WOLF, Bosch, Fisher & Paykel, and Electrolux appliances. The east-facing kitchen, family room, and primary suite capture morning light, while the west-facing dining/living rooms frame lake sunsets. Whole-property generator, new HVAC, pool heat/cool pump, paneled 2-car garage, and a 851 sq ft guest house/studio with its own bedrrom, bath, kitchen, cypress-paneled main room, Japanese soaking tub, custom stainless sinks, skylight, morning bar, Flexco floors, art sink, and hidden AV complete the property.
