Description

Sprawling custom farmhouse cottage on a 1 acre lot with waterfront that gives you access to False River without the price tag! As you make your way down the sweeping driveway you will be instantly impressed with the large lot as you pull into the double carport. Attached to the carport is a 12X22 storage shed that has lovely decorative doors. The back door makes an impression as it is custom-designed iron with wrought iron and glass arches. The entry hall leads you into the main areas of the home and your eyes will be immediately drawn to the direct view of the water. In the kitchen, there is a large center island featuring exotic slab granite that provides barstool seating. The kitchen cabinets surround even more of this beautiful granite, stainless steel high end appliances and an exquisite, one-of-a-kind authentic copper range hood with copper back splash. Adding to the farmhouse charm , the pantry showcases an antique screen barn door. The kitchen and dining areas flow right into the living room providing perfect entertaining room. The high ceilings through the great room allow for natural light to flood the space from the wall of windows facing the back yard and bayou. The living room gives you a cozy atmosphere with its unique stone fireplace that was done by hand. The cypress mantle comes from an old New Orleans home and is flanked by 2 rustic lanterns. Throughout the home all the light fixtures are super high end and give a charming feel to the home. The master suite faces the water and has a large en-suite spa like bathroom with antique claw foot tub, separate shower, walk-in closet and double vanity. The back porch overlooks the bayou and pier where you can fish, party or kayak. Just a short boat ride puts you in gorgeous False River and you get to return to your own private retreat. Storage is not a problem in this home with decked attic and huge laundry room. This little paradise is close to New Roads and Baton Rouge.
