Home Details
This Southern French Creole Colonial estate offers serene country living with city convenience. Designed by Robert Dame, built by Mission Contractors, with interiors by Sandy Lucas of Lucas/Eilers and custom plasterwork by Leslie Sinclair of Segreto. Set on 3.8 acres, the property features a circle drive, ample parking, pool/spa, fire pit, pasture, two climate-controlled sheds, and a whole-home generator. Inside, Venetian plaster walls, an 18th-century French limestone fireplace, and 19th-century reclaimed wood floors add timeless elegance. The main level is ideal for daily living and entertaining, with spaces centered around a piano-ready salon. Upstairs, all bedrooms have en-suite baths, and the primary suite includes a large closet and two private balconies. A rare blend of history, luxury, and comfort.
