Description

Offered for the very first time, this extraordinary custom Acadian estate is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Louisiana distinguished property. Designed by renowned architect Allen Bacque, built by Rodney Kern and affectionately named 'Paradise' by the current owners, this raised cottage architectural style 5,200 sq foot, 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home blends timeless craftsmanship with gracious Southern living. Anchored by the three-hundred year old Paradise Oak, draped in iconic Louisiana moss, the classic property exudes personality and distinction even before you step inside. An expansive front porch invites afternoons with sweet tea and neighbors, and leads to a welcoming foyer and thoughtfully designed, elegantly proportioned spaces made for gathering, entertaining, and everyday living. The first floor features the primary suite, an additional bedroom/en suite bathroom, 1/2 bathroom, formal dining, breakfast area, keeping room, spacious living room, entertaining bar, oversized laundry, and exceptional storage. Upstairs offers three generously sized bedrooms (which easily fit king beds!), two full baths, a second living area, and additional walk-in storage. At the heart of the home, the kitchen showcases brick floors, a large island with seating and storage, gas range, and abundant prep space. The formal dining room comfortably seats 12 and overlooks Paradise Oak, creating an unforgettable setting for gatherings. Soaring 12-foot ceilings, rich millwork, Andersen wood windows, plantation shutters, warm antique pine floors, oversized rooms, solid-core doors and solid sheet walls reflect the home's exceptional quality. Step outside to the private screened outdoor patio that leads to a secluded courtyard. A home generator provides added peace of mind. More than a beautiful home, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Louisiana tradition built to be cherished for years to come. This is more than a home - it's a place to create your story!
