22450 Elderberry Ln, Bush, LA 70431

Description

Welcome to 22450 Elderberry Lane, a custom-built French estate nestled on 7.35 acres along a private, tree-lined street of just five Estate homes off prestigious Old Military Road. Constructed in 2001 by its original owner with an uncompromising commitment to quality, this home was built to far exceed standard practices—designed for elegance, longevity, and peace of mind. The main residence offers 4,160 square feet of living space with 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a formal dining room, office and a finished basement/wine cellar. Exterior parapet walls are finished with copper flashing, while copper gutters and downspouts add both beauty and durability. Inside, you'll find 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, custom mahogany millwork, and Pella windows with internal blinds. The kitchen features Corian countertops and stainless steel appliances; while additional touches like a central vacuum system, silent floors, and air-conditioned closets speak to the level of detail throughout. A functional masonry fireplace anchors the living space, and a massive covered rear porch invites relaxed outdoor living in complete privacy. Built for enduring performance, the home features paraffin-sealed walls, radiant barriers in the walls, attic, roof, and joists, and reinforced concrete mesh behind all tile and bath surfaces. The crawlspace is heated, cooled, and finished with a concrete floor over triple-layered vapor barriers, and a French drain protects the foundation. The sealed, air-conditioned basement features three layers of waterproofing, offering added protection and utility. Owned solar panels are connected to the grid, and three heat pump HVAC systems serve the estate efficiently.  A detached 3-stall garage includes an upstairs guest suite with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, and a separate workshop offers even more flexibility. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, enduring estate—crafted with intention, elegance, and extraordinary care.
