Beneath a canopy of majestic live oaks, this renovated New Orleans–inspired Southern traditional makes a striking first impression. It's a classic red-brick facade with a two-story columned gallery, wrought-iron balconies and an arched front door crowned by a fanlight transom at the end of a winding brick walk and three car garage. Inside, timeless architecture meets a fresh, collected sensibility, with tall ceilings, rich hardwoods, arched openings and refined millwork throughout. A gracious entry, anchored by a study with built-ins, opens to light-filled living spaces. The family room centers on a carved fireplace mantel flanked by custom built-ins and Schumacher wallpaper. French doors open to the patio, and the room flows into the kitchen for easy, open entertaining. Just off the family room are a temperature-controlled wine room and a wet bar wrapped floor to barrel-vaulted ceiling in wallpaper leading to the butlers pantry perfect for hosting. The chef's kitchen has Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, glass-front display custom cabinetry, a carved stone hood, marble counters and an island with prep sink. The main level also has two powder baths, a mudroom, a built-in desk that could be used as a craft or homework area a large laundry room and two staircases. The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat with custom drapery, a marble bath, a soaking tub, dual vanities and separate custom closets. A second bedroom with an en-suite bath completes the main level. Upstairs are a vaulted bonus room that works well as a game room and a media room that could become a fifth bedroom or a gym. Two more bedrooms upstairs have recently updated baths and designer lighting and wallpaper. Outdoors, the covered back patio extends the living space into a private resort framed by a lush evergreen screen, sparkling pool and spa, low-maintenance turf, sculptural palms and new landscaping.
